Intellectual Property Violation

[AWRCreations]

Hi, 

I just had an intellectual property violation on my Etsy Listing page stating they deactivated one of my listings and I would receive and email on it. I have not had anything deactivated and have received no emails. Is this real? The message has disappeared but I want to make sure there are no. issues.

not sure. I had one a few years ago, and finally found that they'd deactivated a candle I'd just done because the title name was IP. Wasn't aware that it was...but...didn't ever relist it.

BTW, cool shop, would love to see your CNC setup. My brother is musing on getting one of those for his woodshop. Every single one he has found is many multi thousands...and I've been hoping to see a smaller version that I could get for him for a gift.

Hi AWR créations, tu as peut-être été victime d'une tentative de fishing par des pirates du web; ils écrivent qu'ils désactivent tes fiches produits...ou quelque chose pour t'inciter à cliquer et à voir ce qui se passe, et après ils peuvent récupérer tes références; le but est de voler de l'argent. Bon j'espère que ce n'est qu'une fausse alerte.

I don't know - but it can't hurt to be careful.

Did you see this in a banner on your dashboard, or in a message?

Those banners have been known to show up before and then disappear, frightening sellers for no reason.

Same issue here. Infact it just popped up again today, no email, no deactivations.
