Hi everyone,
I wanted to share a scam message I recently received through my ThemeForest profile contact form. It appears to be a phishing attempt pretending to be from the Envato Trust & Safety Team, asking for identity verification via a suspicious link.
Please do not click on the link or enter any personal information. This is not an official message from Envato.
The message was sent from:
verifacc (email removed)
via the profile contact form on Envato Market.
If you want to check the sender’s profile:

Here’s the full message for your awareness:

How to complete verification:

Once verified, your account will be fully restored. If you do not complete verification within 24 hours, access to certain features (such as downloads, purchases, or marketplace submissions) may be temporarily restricted.

Thanks for reporting this and being careful to check who is requesting the information. It’s definitely not an official channel or email.

Yes this is a phishing message and you should not reply.
Thanks for sharing this. I think it’s clearly not legit. Envato would never ask for card details just for verification, especially through the profile contact form. If you get something like this, just report it to Envato Support and ignore it. Weird links and urgent tone are always a red flag.
