Hi, I had this message from Etsy support and I think it’s a scam. What do you think?
Sales on your shop are temporarily suspended to complete verification. Please enter your email address in this chat so we can send you a verification form.
I’m now worried that you can’t buy anything on my shop. I know it’s irrational and it probably is a scam but can somebody reassure me please.
Lots of info on the help pages and these forums about these scamsl

Scam. Etsy has your email address
REAL messages from etsy will be in the "from etsy" section of your inbox. Check on a browser or computer, as it's not on the app.
It's a total SCAM, which has been going around since mid summer. Mark it as spam and do not engage.
If/when etsy needs to verify anything, they notify you on your dashboard.
