Hi guys i recently got this email on my store’s email account and it looked really suspicious can anyone tell me if this is real or if I should contact Shopify help centre to resolve this. Cus there’s no way I’m paying for a theme license on a telegram channel lol.
Topic summary
A store owner received a suspicious email requesting payment for a theme license through Telegram. The email appears fraudulent and does not originate from an official Shopify address (shopify.com).
Key Points:
- The payment request via Telegram is a major red flag
- Community members confirmed this is a scam
- Legitimate Shopify communications come from @shopify.com addresses
Recommendation: The store owner should avoid responding or making any payments, and may want to contact Shopify’s official support to report the phishing attempt.
Hi @Essentialmoti ,
This is definitely a scam, be careful with emails that are not @shopify.com
I hope it helps!
