Just got another scam message from "Support"
But, of course, there is no way to report it to Etsy.
Just put it in spam, this way there is a chance Etsy will remove the account
Etsy is taking them down pretty quickly. Just put it in spam and forget about it.
missing a few though which remain active nearly 2 months later despite having the Etsy in their username
I received three spam messages all in the space of two days (32hrs). One supposedly from 'Support' with a blk Etsy logo as their profile pic, one from 'Technical Assistant' with an orange Etsy logo as their profile pic and one from 'Support' with no profile pic. I've reported each one to Etsy with a screenshot of the messages. The problem that I have is that Etsy should not be communicating with sellers in a way that can be replicated by scammers aka Etsy should not be sending sellers messages through their contact/messages tool anyway. That way there can be no confusion about whether the message is from Etsy or not. Etsy regularly places updates in our Seller dashboard area. It shouldn't be too difficult to just tell us what they want to tell us there. Just like they do with other updates and messages/info they post there.
