| Hello
I am starting getting paranoid with all those mails we are receiving to identify
our account…🤔.
Could the Bricklink admin / support board please post some information, so we
know what to expect. I cannot believe that support is sending mails with threats
of closing ones account. We have no complains from customers, are paying our
fees … I cannot understand why there should be withhold any customers payments
/ orders? Is that for real?
Does any one else get these mails?
Sincerely, Brickworkers

I strongly recommend you contact BrickLink directly through this website, via
the Help Center link on every page. They have sent out emails warning of scammers.
Do not click on links in email, ever, or click on any unfamiliar link, irrespective
of where it is found. If you don't know that some link in a forum is genuine,
it is very likely that it will be a hacking attempt. That is how the scammer
harvests your details.
If you don't have antivirus measures, get some as they will identify scam
emails, in addition to viruses, worms, and trojans, which are unauthorized hacking
attempts attempting to gain access to your PC. Do not trust any emails attempting
to get you to use "their" product, it will certainly be a scam, containing
an infection that will download itself if you mistakenly allow it to do so. Search
with a trusted search site and get a properly validated and genuine antivirus
that has a proven track record of handling infection attempts and scam emails.
If you don't know why an email address is attempting to deceive you or whether
it's legitimate or not, it does not matter. DO NOT reply to them. Find your
own answers, and file suspicious emails in the trash folder of your email client.
Regularly emptying them out is strongly advised.
I sincerely hope you beef up your security measures. It is highly advisable.
There are many ongoing attempts to hack sites all over the world. Stay vigilant
and do not trust anything that an unknown email address sends you! Stay safe,
and never click on any links that you don't trust.
A proper antivirus and scam protection client will alert you to potential threats,
they are constantly evolving their detection algorithms, so ensure that whatever
you choose will automatically update it's threat definition databases.
Cheers ...

They don't sound real. Are you being asked to provide login information?
If so then you know they're fake.
