There are no links or any options to click on or download anything, not that I would.
I do have a free Zoho Books account, but it's under my business email, to which this message wasn't sent.
I'm almost positive it's a scam, but the legit-looking address it was sent from is a bit concerning. It also went to my main inbox, rather than my junk mail (which Outlook is typically pretty good at filtering). They didn't appear to have my actual name and I'm also not seeing any $500 charges on any of my cards or accounts, which is reassuring. Safe to assume I can just write this off as a scam or phishing attempt and report it as junk?
