US buyer getting asked to pay custom fees via in app message on Etsy that leads to a external site.
My wife was asked to pay custom duty fees for a purchase she made a couple days ago off platform.
She received a message from the seller in app with the word "kindly" and a link to some odd site (https://production(dot)alice-iot(dot)app/transit-party/21b1dc19-d567-4847-bab7-3bebb9997ab2/tracking/{trackingnumber}) that triggered my scam feelings.
Etsy support said I shouldn't pay anyone off platform. seller had 2 reviews and 15 sales and only open a month.
I asked for a refund because of additional fees not listed anywhere on my original purchase, I'm I wrong?
