An account based in Australia, created yesterday, places an order on your store
and then asks you to follow a link because your account is blocked, etc. Beware,
as usual, it looks official but it is not.

Do not accept his order and do not give your credit card numbers.

So they are already working around the block out of curiosity what did they
order?

I also had an order from this user.
It immediately looked suspicious to me because the Australian address didn’t
look right and the user email address was French. When I checked out the postal
address it didn’t exist. I sent a message saying I could not calculate shipping
costs because the address was incorrect and they replied with their phishing
message.

I checked out the user IP address and it came back as Singapore.

I then got an email from BrickLink telling me they had terminated the user account
and I should cancel the order.

Did the order arrive with payment (onsite paypal/stripe) or did it arrive as
off-site payment ?

Your terms page says you support both onsite and offsite

My hunch as to why I have not received any of these is because they are running
them all offsite (until proven otherwise), and I only support IC/onsite.
