I received this message and I don't know if it is fake or real. I cannot seem to get a hold of anyone at ETSY. I assume they have a proper email address for help. Here is the message:
Hello, your store is temporarily unable to accept new orders.

1. Your name specified during registration.
2. Your email address.
You will be sent a notification where you will be able to complete a simple verification and receive payment for your order.

@PNWDesigninmind - This is a SCAM.
As you realized Etsy already has that information.

Real messages from Etsy will be in the "from Etsy" message box. To see messages correctly, use a browser - do not use the seller's app. The app is lacking in some protective features.
