Is this Message to verify a scam?

[SurrenderToServe]

Hi, I just created my store a few days ago. I received a notification of a purchase this morning but also a message that sends me to a link then a following 2nd message that says : 

Regards! Your item has been purchased, transaction number #
ORDER ID: . Receipt in the portal!
Copy the Message above and add «𝘾𝙊𝙈»

There was both a transaction and order ID number but I removed it from this posting. However when I go to the link it says my shop is suspended and asking for my bank information to verify my shop. Is this a scam?

BIG SCAM!  Mark as spam.

@SurrenderToServe  you have no sales - that would be your first clue.

@SurrenderToServe: You can always confirm if your shop has been suspended by Etsy by going to your shop home page - if it has been your listings will not be visible and will be replaced by a banner message.

Was the Message in the "From Etsy" section on your Messages page when checking messages using a browser? If not, it is a SCAM.

Never click on links in messages or emails - you can't always tell where they go. Navigate directly to the page you want to view e.g. You shop home page or shop manager and check the status there.

Legitimate messages from Etsy will appear in the 'From Etsy' folder of your message inbox. However Etsy rarely send messages and if it's something important they will email you directly.

Sales can be checked on your orders page in the shop manager.

If you clicked on any links run a virus and malware scan on your device immediately. A keystroke logger may have been planted on your device. Make sure that deice is clean!
