SCAM from verified Wordpress email address

Posting this for awareness and to see if anyone else has gotten a similar email.

I received an email from an "Ismael Conrado" from line a wordpress email; to line an email that is not my own and seems extremely spam-like (random letters that could resemble a name followed by random numbers and a likely illegitimate email address.

This email was "confirming a successful purchase" and activating a computer security service for 3 years, 10 devices at $478.99.

The payment method as you'll see in the screenshot was via a "BANK XXX0". NOTE: there was no link attached to this scam only a number to call to "discuss your order, request changes or process a refund," (I did call out of curiosity and was promptly hung up on since it was clear I wasn't going to give up any information).

I have worked in IT and feel comfortable identifying scams so this was no big stressor for me but I could see a $478.99 charge being extremely worrisome to someone less aware. As a result I wanted to flag this as something to be aware of for email scamming attacks!
