Better Anti Scammer Messages

It would be cool to maybe add a message notification timeout because i get quite a lot of scam messages that my account needs verification but when i try to reply it says "invalid account" so ig they get banned super fast, and to avoid this "nonesense" because its annoying maybe add a timeout that a message isnt received instantly and when the account was banned in the meantime throw the message away.

This way we can focus more on our shop and actual customers

When you get these, you still need to mark as spam. Etsy flags and closes the account but unless they go to every single account, they have no way to check which ones the scammer sent messages to.

Mark as spam and move on.  Etsy has already removed the account,

Don't reply to scammers. Mark as spam.

Check the 'From Etsy' folder for genuine messages from Etsy (you'll see when logged into the website using a browser).
