Random redirects when going to an Etsy dashboard for the first time in a browsing session

[#1]

Bit of a weird issue that I've started having over the past couple of days... 

When I go to my Etsy dashboard (saved in my bookmarks bar) for the first time in a browsing session, it briefly loads, before suddenly redirecting me to what looks like a very obvious spam site. If I'm in there and click through to another link (Etsy help/Etsy Forum), it again briefly loads, but then redirects to the Etsy home page via a tracking link. 

I'm a little bit concerned, this is happening even with an incognito browser/via a VPN/on a different computer. I've changed my DNS settings as well to see if it's a weird issue relating to that, but what worries me is that it's *AFTER* the initial Etsy page loads, and I then have to go back into it... The fact it's happening on multiple machines is really worrying. 

Anyone else seen anything like this? Go into your dash, and choose Contact Us or Forums from the sidebar...

This is happening to me also! Almost 50-75% of the time I go to my Etsy Seller page, it redirects somewhere else, and now thankfully my Sophos software is blocking it.  I can't upload a screenshot, but here's the message Sophos gives me:

High Risk Website Blocked 

Return to the page you were previously viewing.
