( I'm the bot in charge of security ) HELP

[KummLeather]

hello, I received such a message, does anyone have information about this?

"Hello, my name is Jackson, I'm the bot in charge of security. You have received a complaint that you are a scammer, in order that your account was not blocked send me your name and surname, as well as your e-mail.
You will need to be verified today, in the worst case your account will be blocked.
Send me your first name, last name and e-mail!!!!!"

Es una estafa, ten cuidado.

Total scam.

[WitticismsRus]

The scammers are out in force today. That is very similar to the message someone else posted about earlier. Here is a link to that thread https://community.etsy.com/t5/Providing-Great-Customer-Service/Etsy-support-bot/m-p/143364677#M29259...

Bottom line...it's a SCAMMER not etsy. Etsy does not need your first and last name or your email address, they already have it from when you signed up.

[KummLeather]

thank you

[hopeandjoystudios]

Lol..a bot is an automated software app not a person..they are not named "Jackson". Put that message in your spam folder and do not reply.

[ChillwolfArt]

Oh H-LL no!  Glad you did not click. These fools get on my last nerve.  Also, please read the Etsy Announcement (top of Forum) re: Scams.  There is also a notice about it in our Shop Dashboard (it directs us to the Announcement). Stay safe!

[UppNorthCo]

sorry, but this made me actually lol.  sounds like Jackson is reading the forums.  he should have said his name was HAL.  yes, I'm old.

[bradgoodell]

Perhaps "Mother".  

[OmasFabricStash]

Now I don’t feel bad for laughing. Those bots are getting to be downright bold little buggers aren’t they. 

[VintageRescueSquad]

So insane in the audacity of it. But also the wording! 

[VooVooDesign]

That's hilarious.

Jackson. Almost as good as "Mrs. Johnston Martha".

[sharonjenkins1]

So ridiculous that I thought it was a joke at first!

[DesertChains]

Can this be any more obvious? Either scammers are getting desperate or new scammers are not too bright.

[TheVintagePineapple]

Scammers must have a list of things to look out for, too.

If the ''I can't purchase until I have your email address'' scam doesn't work, move on to Scam #22 -- Call the seller a scammer and threaten that their shop will be blocked.

[TastefulArtisan]

Sadly, these things work or they wouldn't be doing them. I feel for all those that have been scammed but haven't come here to talk about it. For every 1 person who came here, there are probably 100 or more that don't and have been taken for a tidy sum.

Does Etsy allow disposable email addresses when registering? Maybe that's how they keep getting account after account. They probably have thousands. 

I hope there is a special fire brewing for every scammer. I despise people who prey on others.

[PartyTownPrintables]

Ultimately these scams must work sometimes, otherwise they wouldn't keep coming back and trying. It's a scourge. 

[Amaradorn]

Oh wow! The scammers are getting quite creative now. We now have 'scambots'. Marvellous.

I just recently got a message regarding wanting to order 89 of a product for a photoshoot (if their business partner approves such a huge order) requesting free samples and the loss will be worth doing business with them.

[ChillwolfArt]

@VibeEnvy  That's awful and I'm sorry you received that Message. It's open season on Sellers with these jacka$$es.

[TastefulArtisan]

*snorts*

Ya, I'm sure you'll want to jump all over that.

[DivineCrossings]

Lol! Jackson the bot! And I’m C. U. Inhell….. 

[ChillwolfArt]

No traction or action for Jackson.

[ChillwolfArt]

No satisfaction nor interaction.

[bradgoodell]

OMG that one is so bad is laughable.  SCAM!
