If this verification message legit or a scam?

[SaraO]

I just got a message and it says -  Hello, your account has been temporarily restricted due to suspicious activity for the platform's security. To restore full access to your account's features, you need to complete the verification process. After successfully completing the verification, all restrictions will be lifted, and you can continue using the service. If you have any questions, please contact us here, and we will provide detailed instructions on how to complete the verification. Dear seller, now you need to enter your card details so that we can confirm your identity. Don't worry, this is completely safe. Your information is necessary to link to our payment system, so after verification, you will be able to buy and sell without any issues. This is a mandatory security measure -

It immediately asks for credi card details - is this a scam?

I just received a similar message, except it said I have been banned and came here to find out if this is a scam. It gave me a "verification" link but I didn't click on it. 

This is what the message said (removed link to be safe)

You are banned from Zazzle for violating our Terms of Service. Your account was banned for fraudulent activity. At Zazzle, we value the safety of our community and activity like yours will be permanently suspended.

[OakAndPine]

Oh...I got the same message too

[Zob1]

I've just received the same message. I wonder if this relates to all the activity from Singapore 🤔

[Anne]

I got it too. Reported it. It did not have the Zazzle logo that Zazzle says employees use. Scam.

[SaraO]

I did click on the link, and it just took me to 'enter all your credit card details! ' Which I didn't, it just rang 'scam' bells ! 

[Sara_H]

@SaraO never click links in messages. Suggest you run a virus scan just in case

[karab]

I got a similar one, looks like the scammers have targeted Zazzle. It's that time of year, they're ramping up all over.

[WBartworks]

I also got one. 

[NigelSutherland]

I had this in my messages today: 

"ZazzIe Account Reverification Required

Hello! 👋
As part of Zazzle’s updated security and compliance policies, all users are required to complete account reverification. Please go to [url removed] and follow the on-screen instructions to verify your information.
Thank you for your cooperation!

Clearly a scam so I have reported the poster. This needs to be nipped in the bud.

[KeegansCreation]

SCAM!!!!

11-12-2025 11:29 AM  If this verification message legit or a scam?

11-12-2025 11:55 AM  Be careful scammers are sending messages on Zazzle Chat!

11-12-2025 12:09 PM  Suspended???

Rounding up the threads on this while there are still only four of them in case the Mod wants to make them all one.
