Hello,
This may be something obvious but I'm confused and would appreciate help. In the last few days, two potential customers have reached out to me saying that Etsy is asking them for my email address at the order completion stage. I tried asking one of them with what option they've tried to pay but received no response. This hasn't happened to me before, so I'd very much appreciate an explanation if anyone's got one. Many thanks in advance!
SCAM!
This is a scam that has been going around for a few weeks now.
Do not give your email address, do not click on any links, do not send a "deposit" to activate your payment account

Scam.
Mark as spam and ignore.

Thanks very much for alerting me to this. Disappointing, but it should have been obvious.
Both scams.
