Is there any need at all for buyers/sellers to see each other's email contact
info even on legitimate orders? Maybe I've been using instant checkout and
the pay now button for so long I have forgotton, but it has been a while since
a buyer has made a payment directly to my email address. Since BrickLink implemented
sales tax collection, all (at least all of my) payments are negotiated through
PayPal Marketplace.
Maybe other payment methods require an email address.
I know some people send photos via email (if only we could attach photos to a
BL message!).
I'd be perfectly happy to have "public-facing email address" be an
option that I can enable/disable at will.

Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are
the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project
was not exposed to the public before January 2024.
As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they

Yes. In fact, most of what is being done to prevent this type of fraud is being
done behind the scenes, and BrickLink members are not aware that it is happening.

Makes sense. That being the case however, would not this suggestion slide perfectly

There are a couple of takeaways from that ... first, steer away from the need
to reply IMMEDIATELY to anything you see prior to your first cup of java, tea,
or whatever. Second, do not trust any link that comes in an email, unless a site
is sending you a validation link, has told you it was just sent, and you just
received it. Everything else, including smishing attempts within SMS texts should
be considered suspect dangerous, and unreliable.
The whole paradigm of social engineering attacks is to make you react without
thinking it all the way thru. Take the slow paranoid path, log into the site
using a known good bookmark, and ignore any links that come via dangerous paths
(no matter how real they appear).

Good to know. Let's just hope that our beloved BrickLink can make it through
largely unscathed. I am sure I am not the only one that doesn't want a repeat
of November 2023 to happen, but everytime someone falls for one of these things,
we get closer to that happening again. I do feel bad for those getting targeted,
but people need to be cautious.

Coincidence != causality.
There has been attempts before this, and probably hundreds we don't know
about, or thousands during those 24 yrs of BrickLink.
Apart this, hackers seem to be high on steroids; many many places including our
French Administration couple weeks ago, PayPal is asking me VERY often to 2FA
(while normally it's once per year maybe), etc.

It would be great if BrickLink allowed sellers to have multiple emails on file:
- a public-facing email with which to contact customers (when sending/receiving
pictures, etc.)
- a non-public-facing email used for two-factor authentication and for seller
account admin purposes (including log in notifications). it makes no sense to
have two-factor authentification if the public-facing email is exposed in a phishing
attack

That feels like a stretch. The people that tend to get upset about some of BL’s
unpopular decisions (myself included) get upset because they love BrickLink.
I’d have trouble believing that one of those people would put in the time and
effort required to launch a phishing scheme that damages the thing they love
and at the same time subjects their fellow members to the collateral damage.

I checked earlier, the .net site is about two months old and the bricklink-com.co
just two weeks. Whether it is linked to merges, I don't know. Haven't
some people mentioned high value sets being added? That suggests financial fraud
rather than just messing about.

|
But what kind of “substantive action” can BrickLink take?
|
I don’t know, that’s above my pay grade. It’s not my job to solve the problems
of a billion dollar multinational company, but I have trouble accepting that
LEGO is powerless to do anything. As others have pointed out, this level of
insecurity in simply not found to this degree in other online arenas: not in
any of my online banking or investment portals, not in any medical billing portals,
not in any government/tax portals, not in other online marketplaces I use, not
even at LEGO.com. BrickLink stands out as a site that is starting to make me
a little nervous.
I understand the gummy spam is probably a low security concern, but it should
represent a HUGE image concern. If our brick-and-mortar business had hawkers
out front all day handing out flyers to our customers, I’d be derelict in my
duties if I wasn’t chasing them off and taking steps to make sure they didn’t
return. If I couldn’t even do that much, how much faith should our customers
have that we would address more serious concerns? It really looks like BL management
simply does not care about a public-facing piece of their website.
I do know that, at my primary business, if our customers were being inundated
with spam and fishing attempts, we’d have a lot of angry customers and that would
result in a lot of bad word of mouth around the community if we didn’t figure
out a way to rectify the situation quickly. Worse yet, if one of our employee’s
response was a bunch of excuses followed up with, “eh, what do want us to do?
You need to look out for yourself!” that employee would probably be fired and
we’d be in serious danger of going out of business.

It must be a different one, as the .net one that goes to bricklink-com.co doesn't
really look anything like the frontpage of BL. No BDP banner, no "Browse"
box. Plus the login box is very different as it is a full page rather than a

I feel slighted I have none.
From a cybersecurity standpoint you never click a link in a text or an email
about suspicious activity. You go straight to how you normally access the site
and see if there is a message there, if it is legitimate, you can then do what
is needed. Even if there isn't you might consider change your password. I
keep getting texts that my bank account is in jeopardy from a bank that I haven't
had an account with for 15 years, needless to say I don't click that link.
I have even gotten texts from PayPal about a dire issue, but when I access PayPal
normally there is nothing there. Thinking before you click is always your first
action. My job sends out test phishing emails. While some look official they
are never using a correct email address and are for things that I expect to be
notified of before an email requiring action.

Yeah, as Chetzler said, when you wake up and see these messages, you’re not at
your best.
That’s why you need to get those checks ingrained, so the alert pops up automatically
in your brain, foggy or not.
But only you can do that.

That's a fantastic idea! I watch Jim's channel and he's good!
If you have not seen Jim Browning you should see what he's got going on.
Maybe if enough of us comment on his videos about this he will look into it.

It's just strange how these emails are going to Bricklink users in particular,
using a false Bricklink login page - if it was a case of leaked emails on another
platform, it would be normal email spam like online casinos, "you won X gift

Somehow, a large list of Bricklink account emails was acquired within the last

How?

Buy the website names that may look like bricklink.com? The 3 millions of them
(org, .net, .«country», etc., briklink, brickslink, bricklinck, etc., brıcklınk.com¹,
briϲklink.com², etc.)?
MFA? They did that with OTP.
Mandatory OTP? They did that last week. It’s annoying and people are opting
out (like you did at first).
Send messages? They did that.
But they only talked about “brickslink” (or was it “bricklinks”?) and you almost
got caught by one of the 2,999,999 others. Should they send a list of the 3
millions possibilities?
Put a warning on the front page? One that can also be faked and diverted by
phishers?
Okay, what they could do is have a 24/7 helpdesk and quick procedures to at least
block an account… but then how do you ensure these procedures are fast and secure
and not abused? Another round of passwords and MFA? Another procedure that
can be copied / faked on a phishing website like they copied the OTP one?
In the end, phishing is a problem that can’t be avoided without the user being
diligent, without the user taking action.

Not necessarily in the last few months, there have been waves of spam targeted
at sellers several times previously - I know I had several around April 2022
purporting to be from a genuine store here about bulk purchasing, and there were
a lot of comments from others about the same thing.
It's very easy to get sellers' emails at least, all it needs is a little
automation rather than any hacking. Every time someone sends you a contact message
enquiring about an item in your store, if they request a copy to their email
I believe it will include the seller's address. I think we all get obvious
timewaster enquiries from time to time and just dismiss them.
I'd be very curious if people with only buyer privileges have also had these
spam messages.

That's how most get scammed, by chance they are waiting for a e-mail and
the scam shows up and they click it thinking all's good.

I don’t know why BrickLink has suddenly become such a juicy target. These people
have no hope of accessing any of my monetary accounts. I assume the goal is
to gain access to a legitimate shop so they can list high-dollar items to scam
other members.
I don’t envy the task that management has ahead of them, but they need to take
some substantive action soon. This is not a primary income stream for me, so
at some point, when all the gummy spam, phishing attempts, and slow helpdesk
response times become too much, I may simply close my store for a while. I don’t
need the extra headache of worrying about online security for a part-time job.
Had I fallen victim to this phishing attempt, I’m really not sure how much effort
I would have put into trying to recover my account. BrickLink just feels like
a dicier selling proposition lately.

| Thank you for your response, but I definitely wasn't trying to prove any
points, or just complain on the forum. I just had a genuine question about why
I may have been stop listed since it's never happened before. 
I do greatly consider feedback scores and read store terms before shopping.
I also am never shopping just by lowest price. I usually am shopping for one
specific item to recreate an old set, and that can sometimes limit it to only
a couple of stores (who don't always have any mention of variants in their
terms). I figured asking first before ordering was the right way to go. I've
been burned before by not asking first, and then receiving a common variant worth
3 cents but the seller had priced it at the cost of the old, more unique variant.
So, I chalked it up as a learning experience.
I'm a fairly small hobby buyer and seller, so I'm learning as I go.
I appreciate having the forum to ask questions, and usually err on the side of
it being something I need to learn more about vs it being another buyer/seller's
fault.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions.

I guess you proved your point about the variation controversy, would it not just
be better to find a store that has an exceptional feedback score and states they
differentiate part variations in their store terms.
It's really no different than picking to shop at a store with tons of negatives
then posting of your horror story here on the forum, or not choose a store with
instant checkout or one offering flat rate shipping then complaining on the forum
that shipping charges on Bricklink are way to high.
Their are tons of really good sellers here on Bricklink, but you are required
to spend
the time to search them out.
It's part of the marketplace - its not always about who's got the lowest
price.

You violated no rules. The seller doesn't want to deal with your questions
and chose to be rude about it. However, many sellers aren't going to pull
inventory and check for ~ $3 of parts.
You can use the Advanced Search Tool (see attached photo):

I filled it out and you can see the results in the attached photos.

merges, I'm trying to buy authentic "old" parts to recreate old sets,
and there isn't much way of knowing now without asking first. 🤷🏼♀️
|
There was a post about this, and one of the reasons I can think of that you might
not have considered is that there may be less of the older variants available
as they either get lost or destroyed somehow over long periods of time.
I don't know if this point was mentioned in that post but it is getting harder
to find specific variants of very old pieces.
Cheers ...

I thought that nobody cared about variants hence the merge? This muuuuust be
a fluke.
To the OP - try another store. Better to find they aren’t accommodating to a
customers simple questions before ordering than after.

For the first time, a seller has blocked me from buying, and I'm wondering

When I click back on the store cart, I now see the following message "Seller

I'm really confused, and am wondering if I violated any rules by sending

You did nothing wrong, some sellers just don't like to deal with valid questions
so they block the buyer. Their reasoning is a buyer who asks questions is going
to be trouble.
Add that seller to your block list and move on. buyer don`t can block sellers !
Feedback can only be given if there is an actual order

You violated no rules. The seller doesn't want to deal with your questions
and chose to be rude about it. However, many sellers aren't going to pull
inventory and check for ~ $3 of parts.
You can use the Advanced Search Tool (see attached photo):
https://www.bricklink.com/searchAdvanced.asp
I filled it out and you can see the results in the attached photos.

I would suggest that is pretty strong indicator that they don't differentiate
variants. You broke no rules, they are just rude. And you can't leave feedback
without a transaction. Time to move on to another shop!

It depends where you put the mouse pointer.
You can also use the arrow keys, with modifiers (Shift = 5°, Ctrl = 1°, Alt =
0.1°).

Maybe they misinterpreted "only bag 2 opened to remove Malek/stand".
They could have interpreted that you are only selling bag 2, and that this bag
was opened to remove Malek. Maybe write: "All bags still sealed except bag

Have examined both the Seller TOS (https://www.bricklink.com/v3/terms_of_service_seller.page)
and the Item For Sale Condition help page (https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=102),
I cannot locate anything that speaks to why your listing was altered by Admin
action. From what you've disclosed, you have met the criteria for an Incomplete
set, used or not.
My only (unasked for) counsel would be to maintain patience. Perhaps a more seasoned
seller will spot something that I missed (that happens a lot ), or when Admin
does get back to you, it may all make sense.
Best of luck in getting this query resolved.

| I keep having to reset my password when I try to log onto mobile site. I enter
all my correct login info and it says id or password mismatched. I know the info
is correct because I changed it yesterday when it gave me the same message. I
have been logged in on my desktop computer shortly before on my mobile device.

| | Hi,
I have received a lot of emails from brickslink, every hours. And I received
Fake orders from Real buyers ( they send me email that their account have been
hacked, and want to cancel order ).
Hope that these hackers will be blocked.
If admins want to contact me, I Can give more informations.
Thanks

Maybe you could report these users through https://www.bricklink.com/problemMember.asp
That could make admins remove their priviledges faster.
