Spam thru report requests?

[EpigrammaticalErrors]

I got another spamlet requesting me to click on [This content has been removed by Moderation. Please do not share unsafe links in the Forums.] yes with the l.

And it was an apparent reply to an urgent request I never sent.

But other sender info seemed legit.  

So it seems there was a partial request in my “services request” folder here.

Not sure what’s going on though I am going to change my password

If you receive an actual order, you will see it in your "Orders and Shipping" section and you will receive an email from Etsy notifying you that you have a sale, and there will be a notification in your dashboard as well.

Thanks.  A couple of times I've seen an order that quickly disappears....and it's seen on the app but there is no login.

Always log in to your Shop Manager to check messages.  Those that are legitimately from Etsy will be in the "from Etsy" folder.  If it is not there, it is not from Etsy and the scammers do pretend they are Etsy customer support!  Never respond to anything on your phone or via any links.
