Recebi um e-mail, é uma farsa?

Topic summary

Um comerciante recebeu um e-mail suspeito alegando ser da equipe Shopify, enviado do endereço “imogenshopifystaff@gmail.com”. A mensagem afirma que o tema da loja está desatualizado e ameaça desativação permanente em 3 dias se não for respondido.

Sinais de fraude identificados:

  • Parte do texto aparece invertida/embaralhada (ex: “end .maeT yfipohS ehT”)
  • Usa um endereço Gmail genérico em vez de domínio oficial Shopify
  • Cria senso de urgência com ameaças de desativação

Outro usuário confirmou que Shopify nunca envia e-mails através do Gmail, validando que se trata de uma tentativa de phishing/golpe. O comerciante deve ignorar e deletar o e-mail sem clicar em links ou fornecer informações.
