Hello everyone,

This is rather strange.

I received a message on my email box from bricklink email service (blservice
at bricklink dot com), but I can't see it on my messages on Bricklink

https://www.bricklink.com/myMsg.asp

So I thought maybe the user was just terminated. Went to check his feedback and
he registered yesterday (zero feedback) and it says he is in USA while in the
email it said he was in Tawain.

Sounds fishy?

Was this a message to phish my email account?

Any thoughts?

Thank you.

Possibly. Was there a link in the email too? I very occasionally (I think twice
in the past year) get emails supposedly from BL about an order, but the order
doesn't exist and the email links go to an obviously fake site where I am
meant to input my username and password. Maybe this or a similar scam has been
the cause of some of the recent hacked accounts.
