"Spam Sam's scam" - best slogan ever.  Now try to say that 10 times in a row.

I think telephone number is Chinese by the way.  Not going to comment further on that.

I received this email too. Mark as Spam should be enough

Mark it as spam, if a few people do it, it comes up on etsy's radar and they close the account

Re: Where to report SCAMS?

We received exactly the same message from "spam Sam's scam" today - January 6, 2024.

The Whatapp number is indeed from an east Asian country.
A red flag anyway.

Marked as Spam.

Unsure if this notifies Etsy automatically as well.

If not, introducing an additional option in Messages to directly report scam messages will be helpful.

With regards,

Substitute Studio
