@BellaChromaDesign: "Only getting the notification they sent a message." If you are referring to the eMail copy of the Etsy Message, the text is still included in the eMail (just hidden) and can be read by looking at the raw content of the eMail (exactly what it is called and how to do it varies depending on your eMail client).
But be sure to check the SPAM folder on your Etsy Messages page using a browser, although it is very possible that Etsy identified the Message as a scam attempt and deleted both it and the sender's account.
