Someone who works for Bricklink should 'install' a huge scrolling banner
at the top of all pages (most importantly here in the forum) warning about the
scams being attempted.
This would be a great solution to make sure everyone is aware and as an added
bonus we may not have to see a new thread started every 2.6 minutes talking about
it.

I provide these fantastic ideas free of charge.
Ah, then here’s your problem: “what is free has no value.”
Ideas need to come with a three-piece suit, a briefcase, and a hefty invoice
Yeah, good metaphor. But some of these tropes serve mostly as anchors weighing
down the inherent will of humanity to rise, in my opinion.
There are countless things "what is free” that prove ultimately to have the
most value in our lives. This hard truth is sadly and often recognized
at the end, and only when our mortality is firmly realized.
Kinda feels cosmically unjust, in that it should be that we are born wise, living
our lives with wisdom instead of only gaining such as the wick is burning down
and when we're less able to confer that wisdom to others... Evolutionarily
counterintuitive? Maybe Unless earned appreciation for a thing, is actually
the better concept...
To others: if you've not read “Last and First Men” concepts of which unbelievably
come from our early 1900 thinking, do so. If interested, there's a
contemporary film based on the book, that I've heard good things about too.
No banners please, I’m sure sales go down each time a maintenance banner is displayed.
As proven by the DAC7 message, they can limit banners to some specific pages
(store settings…).
I didn't get the email, even though I opted in to mail. But I am temporarily
closed, maybe that is why?
I got this one and my store never was open.
Do you normally receive the newsletters?
(I think the last ones were about BDP… or if those count as marketting and not
newsletters then there was the Studio one….)
Maybe you have the same problem as 1001bricks? (He unsuscribed on Mailchimp
for another thing and couldn’t then get any other mails from them.)
Your sales will go down as more people fall victim to the scammers.

An email was sent to all Sellers on Friday, not sure if it when out to buyers
or not.

Ziegelmeister: “Ah-ha! Come and get me! Not even scared!”
Phisher: “Mr. Z.? Your favorite colour is blue and your first car was a beetle?
Luggage combination 1234? I think we got you already….”
How come nobody ever tries to phish me?
I guess I still haven't "made it" yet.
same I feel left out.it seems everytime one of these happens i never get any
of the messages
Nubs: “Not even scared either!”
Phisher: “Mr. Select? Favourite food, pizza, but eats only yogourt. Favourite
colour, pizza, er, what? Luggage combination, 1234. I think we got you already….”

then I would know they are a fraud as I've never owned or used
luggage combinations before! Like a normal person I put my pizza in a safe
when traveling!

Hey I am going phishing next weekend at Castaic Lake and hoping to catch some
nice rainbow trout, your welcome to join me if your in the area then??
As long as I can remember, that reservoir's water level has been depressing
low. Nice to hear that it's back at near full capacity and bountiful again.
Have fun and make sure Skragle doesn't run afoul of those uptight state rangers
Btw, the Blue gill and Striped bass are better eating and with less bones than
the Rainbows those waters are stocked with.

PS. Just to make sure you are legit, I will just need your PayPal account email
info and your password.
Sure thing. Don't think I'm allowed to post that info here though

A few years back it was really low, 135 feet lower then max capacity. It was
just so weird seeing it that low, being able to walk out a couple of hundred
feet on dry ground and seeing stuff that had been under water for so long now
exposed. At this time is just a little lower then normal, getting ready to handle
possible winter storms.

Never! But he does like to chase his arch-nemesis's croooooows and squirrrrrrrrels
when we go there. We like going there to sort thru and separate used Lego in
the mornings - very relaxing.

Gotta be interesting experiencing the place both ways, or condition

Actually sounds nice So, no phishing then?

Hi there. I am not in the forum much but I am wondering what scams are happening
on BL now a days??? I have been debating to attach my paypal to my store again
and allow USA buyers to buy,, but I don't want any headaches... So what
sort of scams are people running now? Or are they the usual old Paypal scams?
Thanks in advance,, and for the free advice.
