Weird message

Hello, i received a strange message asking me to send my email to a customer who could only pay like this.

I gave it, thinking maybe there s a new checking stuff with etsy. I received 2 emails and of course i have to fill my bank details. So i stopped there.

Is it a scam?

Did someone live the same?

I m french and in France,

Thanks for your returns,

Tinka

Total SCAM. Spam it and do not engage.

SCAM! Lots of posts in the forums about this. Etsy has all your details, so they would not need anymore info from you. And if it is not on your dashboard that you have a sale, then you don't have one.

Yes, SCAM. It's getting to be a big problem here. You never need to send a seller your email information or your bank account, credit card, etc.

C'est une arnaque! Ne partage jamais ton addresse courriel à de potentiels clients! Tu n'as qu'à les inviter à payer via "Etsy Payments". Ne t'en fais pas, ça m'arrive sur une base quotidienne.

It happened me twice and I told him that he didnt need my email to purchase and he should connect to an Etsy agent if having trouble in purchasing.
