Favoriting Bots

Has anyone experienced this? In the past five days, multiple "people" a day have begun favoriting hundreds of my items in a quick flurry (I have a large inventory, and they're just going page by page favoriting everything). They are ALL last name first. Some, when you click on their name, don't have an Etsy account by the time I click on them. Others do, but it's empty *except for* all my things they've just favorited.

I first contacted Etsy chat in case this was a security threat of some sort.

Then I contacted them again (it's been 5 full days of this) because, even if they aren't nefarious, I'm not able to see any real activity by real Etsy users/visitors because these "favoriting bots" are inundating my entire "activity" list on the dashboard. Etsy basically said they were passing it along as feedback.
