Scam.  Don't reply to it, just mark it as spam.

Ive been sent a direct email aswell saying they are trying to purchase I'm assuming that is connected?

It sounds like a scam.

If the message is not in the From Etsy section of your Message list then it is a scam.

Thieves have gotten very good at making their messages look legitimate.
