Scam messages

[MEZAIAforWatches]

Every day I receive dozens of fraudulent messages requesting bank details.
I am no longer able to follow messages and emails, I have stopped opening them.
I mark these messages as fraudulent but the senders are not blocked, they just continue to flood my inbox with their messages.
Can't the moderators of this platform prevent this type of message?

I have worked on other platforms similar to Etsy, I have never seen anything like this happen.

If you mark as spam Etsy will block them individually

Does this happen to you too? You receive many fraudulent messages every day

@MEZAIAforWatches no, they seem to target new shops.

I’ve been attached twice and nearly sucked in. Shame. Thankfully Scotia has phenomenal security.

This is mainly happening to new sellers. Sometimes sellers when they make a brand new listing from scratch. It is a real shame that there seems to be no way to control this.

I don’t get them because I’m not a new shop

After creating a forum post, I got what I believe to be a scam message with dialogue.  I also received at least a dozen hearts/likes on each of the exact same 2 item listings all day long and the following day as well, and then again a week later.

Are you listing watches as supplies?

Sometimes scammers target shops when they are not following the rules here. They might think if a seller is blatantly breaking the rules, they might be desperate enough to fall for a scam.
