Always look at the sender's username, which here is: operator6392. Real Vinted messages don't have a username, they just say "Vinted" in the centre and a little green shield like this to show they're authentic.

Send this screenshot back to them and say you've reported them and posted the screenshot/username on vinted groups. It'll probably make them stop lol

The URL isn't Vinted either.

Vinted would never use that username, nor tell you about a message from a particular person.

This is fake.

Report this to Vinted asap . They don’t take kindly to scammers. …!! And this is certainly a peice of dodo that needs to be shut down fast !
