Hi Fellow Sellers,

I am getting this message from ETSY but it is not working. It seems suspicious please let me know if you guys getting such message too?

Message:Hello, this is your Etsy Staff employee speaking with you

Scam.  Put it in Spam.

Yes, many many sellers have received that fake message and different variations of it for many many months now.

You should edit your OP and remove the live link though.

@AsiaCarvingsExports That is a scam. Do not click on the link.

Please edit your post to remove the link so that no one else accidentally clicks on it.

Anyone can send messages through Etsy's messaging system and at this time there are a lot of people attempting to scam Etsy sellers.

Etsy may have already shut them down which is why it is not working.  Continue to be wary of messages like this. The scammers are relentless.

Sounds like you would have gotten scammed had Etsy not cut them off first. You should familiarize yourself about these attempts to scam sellers everyday in Forums.

It's a scam, go to messages on etsy, and mark it as spam

luckily etsy got to it first and blocked you replying.

Do not click on links
Do not give your e-mail
Do not give your card details

you can tell if the messages is really from etsy, and not pretending to be

use a browser to log into etsy
go to messages
on the left hand side there is a "From Etsy" folder, if the messages isn't in there, as well as the inbox, it's not from etsy

YOUR SHOP IS NOT SUSPENDED.  If you gave the scammers any information, make the necessary changes to your accounts

[OmasFabricStash]

The first thing to do is look at your shop when you aren’t signed in. Is your shop still open? Then Etsy didn’t suspend it which means the message is a scam.
