| Several sellers have received the same (unwanted) email recently - me included!
Bricklink Admins have asked for them to be reported (including the message ref):

I received a similar email,although mine came from cat9040265, who has an email
in Russia. I looked up the company. The Canadian address is a "virtual office".
The US address is a 2 bed 1 bath apartment.

The account sent message to me is not even confirmed. So I made a suggestion
for not letting such account to send message

This will not stop them, at least let the spammers work harder

Considering they open up several accounts here everyday just to send spam messages
knowing that it is against the TOS when they sign up and also knowing that their
accounts will be quickly closed down but they still repeatedly do it several
times a day knowing then I would say that kind of constitutes it being a scam
site or at least a very scummy site.

Apparently (but I didn't check much) it's a working marketplace.
So it doesn't seem to be a scam.
But the way they promote their website is pure spam.
If you wish, it's like if BrickOwl would send messages to all sellers here...
But BO isn't this kind of business, of course.

I see your point and I agree, their spamming here dose not prove that the site
itself is a scam. I should have read your post more carefully before I replied
to it. I apologize for any offence given.

| I got it this morning, reported the user, Askungen34 (0), with the message id
(46047664).
Report them here: https://www.bricklink.com/problemMember.asp
This spam appears to be working, I went to look for a physical address, found
2. One is a virtual office in Vancouver, BC and a house in San Francisco, CA.
While there I searched for Lego and I found multiple Lego sellers on there, some
did not even bother to change their store name from Bricklink. This is likely
why they keep spamming our message boxes, because it works. SMH.

I'm surprised a BrickLink seller would want to sell on the site, what with
the free shipping policy and all

Why is it a problem to post the message here so that people are aware of it.
This is a forum to inform people and that is exactly what is being done. If
someone is of the wrong mindset and doesn't listen and follows through with
all of us saying it's bad, kind of a "shame on them" moment.

ok, well i guess someone might as well say it..
if you are reposting the ad , an exact word for word copy & paste... likely you

It's amazing the assumptions that you make for everyone. Posting a message
like this in the forum is to let everyone know that when they get it that it
is Spam and they can ignore it rather than question it again and again.

Congratulations, you read the forum and had the information provided to you already
so you knew exactly what to do with it. Guess what, I did the same thing when
I got it. But you know what else, it came to my email account which is where
I saw it first and for those that don't look at or view their incite BL messages,
that's quite possible where these members are seeing it first as well.
It's not the fact that they posted it, or the call out that it was the full
message and "promoting" it. If people want to sign up for a new selling site,
they are allowed to. The problem here is the manner and attitude used with the
assumptions made that it is malicious or additional promoting for profit. I
think you need to have a more open mindset in understanding all perspectives
to grasp what is being communicated. Additionally, the original poster has realized
that this thread has already been started many times over and has since removed
the post, so again this is all mute.

" or additional promoting for profit "
... for profit....
so, you are saying it is 'Additional Promotion' to repost it, but it's
only a "problem" to do that if it's for Profit...
ok gotcha..
so, it's worse than i thought, they aren't even getting anything out
of the deal, just 100% free promotion for that website.
duh.....
also, i used the terminology "Likely" not "assume"
i never assumed anything

| This is where having sticky threads by admin would work. If they made one sticky
post about it with the name in the title, then all tge rest could be removed.
I find it a bit odd that someone gets it then reposts it without searching to
see if it was recently posted about, but that happens on all forums.
