Scam Email: Monika Hasler

Here is an scammer who is writing private messages to sellers on Etsy, pretending to be a buyer. The email is no different then the emails they send outside of Etsy, not realizing that Etsy takes care of the payment. I guess they are hoping to pull a desperate seller off the Etsy system to do a transaction via wire transfer (the mode they need to steal your money and disappear). I hope they got reported.

  1. Just got one from davidsimpson117@yahoo.com

    Etsy identified the email prior to me reading it, they inactivated his account, placed the message into spam and advised me not to respond.
