  I received a message from "purportedly" Bricklink saying my store has
been suspended.

I received this message from dom1470 (0) a few moments ago.

It is asking for my personal data.

This is either a joke or a scam right? Because whilst I may be a bit of a provocative
butt head I certainly never break any of the ToS of Bricklink and always pay
my fees and dues in a timely manner and have a 100% store rating.

Regards
Steve

yes 100% a scam. a legit mail from BrickLink will never start with "Dear
user" they will always use your actual name (or sometimes username)
BrickLink will never ask for a payment card as they do not process any payments!
it all goes through Paypal (fees) or the Lego website (Designer program)

Clearly I forgot and Sylvain cancelled my message for it as he should have. Will
know better next time, but hope there is not a next time.
