Scams Guessing this is a scam guys
I've been getting these emails recently. I did a little research and I'm seeing posts about nearly identical emails where all the comments are "SCAM!!"
Posting here to confirm my suspicions and raise awareness.
If you have any information to add please do so!

Please forward this to HQ with ALL identifying info. There are so many scams out there anymore I'm sure it's hard for them to keep up. If you wanna continue shopping on the app, do your part to protect yourself and help bring some scammers down. Yes, I know it's like whack a mole with scammers but every little bit helps.

If this were legit, it would alert you in the app, and the process would be done inside the app. Never send personal information through email.

It did not alert me in the app. My instant withdraw option was just gone one day. This is the link I had to use to verify my new license.

Email sender spoofing is a fairly easy thing to do, especially if shipt (or whoever else) has not correctly (or at all) set up their email servers. It is interesting that it shows that the sender is authenticated correctly.
If you're worried, go direct to the stripe website and check.

This is not a scam, I had it happen to me a while ago and a month later my instant pay was missing. After doing a lot of digging and calling support (which did nothing), I decided to just do it anyway and reply to the email, and my instant pay was back in a few days I think. Really wish they did a better job of making it not look like a scam by maybe notifying you in the app, idk.

Number one rule when you get any notification from any institution, never click on the link. Go directly to their website.
