We also got that same message yesterday, but the items they mention in the first

Yes, we got it too and they referenced our series 15 minifigures. I'm surprised

customize each email.

make sense for a standalone part

It looks like the script simply scrapes the Shop - Featured page and picks an
item there.

They are using bricklink messaging to try to poach sellers from here, which will
also eventually remove buyers too if they are successful.
