-the glossiness/shine on the heads I purchased is definitely off. They even make
a different sound if you put a whole bunch in your hand and mix them around.
-A bunch of torsos I purchased had hands that didn’t properly fit in the torso.
- a few of the colors of bulk arms I purchased fluoresce under a black light.
Colors that don’t normally do so. This was tested against figures that came out
of sealed legos.
- this observation is nowhere near definitive, but the quantity of certain items
they have available doesn’t really make a lot of sense
- other veteran BL’s have pointed out the parts may not be legitimate

That doesn't sound like 3D printed. Maybe fakes made by injection molding
but 3D printed items are still quite easy to spot due to the striated printing.
The amount of work to make them smooth is more than plain torsos / heads are
worth.

I think you would report it to LEGO directly, and you better have really good
proof.
