Well, if the account had suspicious activity, then BL saw them, blocked them,
and contacted the real owners. Not necessarily easy to do for some of them who
had their e-mail compromised too (same password 🙄), but I know BL also tried
other ways and managed to reach and verify them.

It’s nice to get Lego spam instead of the usual…
Single Naked Barbie’s are available in your area
Car warranties
Best Buy geek squad
Your _______ bank account is in trouble
Someone logged into your Netflix account
Someone logged into your Amazon account
Someone bought naked barbies on your Amazon account to Netflix and chill with
Etc.
It’s a simple test for people to learn to read and comprehend before they click.

| Emails can be blocked from the sender and the ISP they are sending from by going
to your email online and choosing to block them. It will not block your legitimate
Bricklink emails because you are blocking the spam ones only.
I just block those pesky spam emails and move on with my life. Most of us have
been with Bricklink long enough that we can see fake emails from good ones and
if questions then ask and be sure to use the 2 part Authentication.
Also if you feel you have been compromised then change your password immediately!

It's a good question, Brian.
We've had three or four suggestions implemented over the years. The latest
of ours was in response to another topic foisted upon the membership:
https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1244764
I fight to keep this particular feature alive here on BL, and have for years.
Though I'll not stop fighting for the idea of membership involvement, I will
lose the battle if the idea is not maintained and kept strong within the membership
itself. And that idea can't endure if our voices are not loud enough to be
heard at distance This feature along with the BL catalog, are at the focal
point of this vital sentiment that joins admin with membership, imho.

thats my question also. Most sellers have backups for inventory so its not that,
hacking a user who is on the form dosnt help as it means they are active and
any scam will likely be very public very fast and admins usually temp ban the

I'm not sure it is.
Since 2000 there always have been hack attempts (I guess), actual hacks (few
we
know of), and shops hacked one way or the other (social engineering, trojan +
keyb hook, hack another site use the same password...)

They should be reporting it in January 2025, like other sites should. Even if
a public announced procedure is not in place right now, they already have all
the tools they need to do it (number of orders and total sales volume) for 2024.
I imagine it is easiest to assume that they will report this at the end of the
year as they should be doing.

uptick in sales, as my store now matches with more wanted lists and people can

Equally, as a buyer, what attracts me to a store when I'm looking to purchase
parts is availability of all (or as many of) the parts I'm looking for at
that time, which often means it's a larger store of 100k+ parts that I end
up purchasing from. Smaller stores have their place, but they usually need to
fulfil some kind of niche or specialist market to really attract custom.

Thanks for the advice. I’ll just continue adding inventory so more customers
will come.
