I know you can report a buyer’s message as suspicious, but can you report a buyer themselves?

I have had several orders the past several days which all immediately ask for address changes through official Etsy requests. I was suspicious of this activity because all of the requests were clustered… but the orders were real and so were the official requests to change address via a customer support message.

I just had another order with an immediate request to change address.
Is there a way for me to flag these for Etsy? I see a way to flag customer messuages but this adds them to spam or something.. it doesn’t deal with the fact that i have an open order with the customer.

Any help/guidance on what to do?
I’m pretty sure I will get paid either way, but I want to make sure the community is healthy.

1 day ago I received 2 orders from 2 separate people who both immediately told Etsy they wanted to change shipping address. I basically never had someone do this before so I thought it was strange it happened 2 times at the same time.
Last night I received 4 orders from 4 separate people who all immediately told Etsy they wanted to change shipping addresses.

I am a little suspicious of this situation... but should I not be? It all seems to be officially through the Etsy store.... Is there a scam I am not aware of?
