True or scam ?

[ZTenEva]

Hello,

Has anyone received a message from an "Etsy Stuff employee" - only in the shop message section of the shop but not in his personal email box connected with Etsy?

It looks suspicious to me.

Any advice is welcome !

Thank you in advance !

It's spam trying to get you to give them your email and then your bank information. Send it to spam which alerts Etsy to close their account. Glad you weren't taken in by it. 

Here's Etsy's info on it:

It's a scam.  Mark as spam and do not reply to them.  Generally they ask for your email and then your banking info so they can steal your money.

Only real legitimate messages from Etsy will appear in the "From Etsy" section of your Etsy messages -  not on the blue Seller app, for now.

ETSY already has your email!  The scammers are trying to take you OFF of Etsy, because they will then send you emails that mimic Etsy pages, even to the point of a live chat - all just to get your banking details.  Some Sellers have lost thousands.
