Default A Warning to Etsy Users

On Tuesday, I received an email from Etsy telling me that they received a request to change the email associated with my account. If I had not made the request, I needed to contact them. Within an hour of the time stamp on their email, I tried to contact them. I needed to sign into my account but they had already changed my email and locked me out of my own account. I have sent three emails with no response. I called and got a rep who took the info and said she'd forward it on. I asked if I could close the account, but to protect my info, she didn't have that access. So a crook could easily get into my account but no one honest can. I found a forum of Etsy users and it appears this has been an ongoing problem with the website and they do not respond to efforts to contact them. If or when this is resolved, I'll close my account.
