Etsy Verification Scam - Beware

When entered, they will ask for you to confirm you own the card by entering the current available balance. Followed by a pop up asking for you to enter a one-time-authorisation code to complete a payment.

From what I was able to see, they run the payments through Stripe (also reported in detail to their security team). Any cards they can't run quick enough, all details are sent to a Telegram account (also reported) for use later.
