I am getting messages to my store about Minifigures that I do not have and there
from a no feedback user that was created same day. Is this a bot or a genuine
customer?

Sounds like it could be a bot, what do the message say specifically (side note,
by the sounds of it, 0 feedback users can message stores again!)

Hi I wanted to know if I could have a Dark Vader with 2 storm troopers and a
Booba Feit with a blaster for all of them

Oh you can reply if you feel it's legit.
Some people ask if they could buy at 50% OFF - I don't even reply.

But if the guy's bombing you of messages, report.

Honestly sounds like an underaged user, might be best to do what 1001bricks said

It's either a underaged user or someone who does not know English. Either
way, I do not even have those Minifigures in my store, and they still asked about
them. Is there a reason for that?

Well, there’s no way to know how they ended up contacting you.

It may have been from your store… but how did they get there?  Obviously not
by looking for the minifigures… but do you have the blasters maybe?
Or they may have found you by location or by a forum post or clicking randomly
here and there….
🤷‍♂️
In any case, it’s not very important.

In the end, if you have the time, apply the principle of charity and answer them,
try to educate them a bit.

Principle of charity: without proof to the contrary, assume that they are lost,
that they don’t speak English well, that they may be a child, and not that it’s
a bot, a scammer….

Alright, thank you. And no I do not have the blasters in my store since I include
them when you buy the minifigure.
