OUCH! Please turn off VPN Message

[KrittersKrap]

Hello all,

So i made my first sale and went to my email and clicked on "Proceed to the Acknowledgement of Finances" link and send sme to a blank page with the "OUCH! Please turn off VPN Message" it says this message from my laptop as well as my cell phone, when i dont have any VPNs installed on either device. Has anyone run into this problem? Hope someone can help as i've searched almost everywhere to try and find where or wht setting might be causing this issue. Thank you in advance as i am very green to all this.

@KrittersKrap   Oh no!  This is a SCAM!

You have no sales yet in your shop.  If you gave out any information, please contact your bank and credit card company immediately!

Scammers have been preying on new shops like this - with infinite variations - the result can be loss of thousands of dollars taken from your bank or CC account.

Solche Schreiben bekomme ich immer wenn ich neue Produkte einstelle! Einfach als Spam markieren, wenn in deiner Bestelliste kein Kauf zu sehen ist, ist es eine Spam Nachricht. Nie irgendwelche Daten rausgeben!

SCAM SCAM SCAM. When you get a sale, it shows up on your dashboard under "Orders & Shipping". You don't have to do anything as it all happens behind the scenes.

You don't have to "acknowledge finances"!!!! You already entered your banking info when you opened your shop.

They are trying to trick you into providing financial information and will steal your $$$$$

So what do i do, should i report it, if so how do i go about doing that no one else gets the same or at least do something bout this one.
