I received the following email from this address: admin@bricklink.com


Email:

" We have reason to believe that BrickLink seller XXXXXXXX is running a scam.
We recommend you file a chargeback with your payment provider immediately.

The BrickLink Administration "


I X'ed out the sellers name because I had no issue with this order. They
charged me the agreed upon amount only once, and the pieces came fine. I guess
my question is is the email I received from the "admin team" some kind
of scam?

How long ago was that you received your order as the scam might be just in recent
ones if something happened to the store.

You can contact Admins here to let them know your information:

Earlier this day same issue concerned a store suspended somewhere in August this
year.
Maybe backlog actions going through a newly started automated proces?
