PS: The message in question did not come from Etsy, and we have already actioned the account attempting to impersonate admin.
Just spam Sam's scam.
"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
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.
