receiving message on my phone about my account

Jump to solution

I don't know if this falls into tech issues but today I received a message on my phone through etsy messages from a Yvonne Pedraza telling me that I needed to verify my banking information, until I do my store will be temporarily suspended they sent me a link to click on but I have not done anything. I did try to respond to the message back to this person but it will not go through. I did think it was suspicious so I just left it 

Anyone else getting these messages?

 

Thank You - Kim

Move the message to spam because that's what it is.

Spammers are crawling all over Etsy.  I've had five or six messages in the last few days.  It's always about your account and banking info.  Move to Spam.
