Hi, is this a scam email?

received from: “Shopify Support” store+60102082612@t.shopifyemail.com

Titled: Confirm business information to avoid disruption to payments and payouts

Body:

Due to online financial regulations, we require your assistance in confirming that the line of business related to the payment complies with our Terms & Conditions.

Please log in to the Shopify Dashboard to edit or confirm your business information. We need to verify that your business information is up to date and accurate to allow your account to process payments and payouts.

Yes it’s a scam.

Those random shopifyemail.com addresses are from stores that haven’t set up their domain properly. It’s a good way for the scammers to make it look like it’s from a legit Shopify address though. If you hover over the “Confirm Business Information” you’ll see it directs to some random website

Thanks, I had the same today and was a little unsure too until I saw the URL it was trying to take me to.

I’ve had one tonight. I’ve clicked on the link and then it asks for a code to the phone which never comes. Is it a scam?
