All of it started fairly shortly after all of the extremely unpopular part merges started to actually occur. I have a strong feeling that a user here that was very upset about the decisions made is having some "fun" at BrickLink's expense. Interesting theory. But the scammers that caused the November 3 incident are the same ones that caused the problems last night, and the variant merge project was not exposed to the public before January 2024. As much as companies tend not to boast about the number of online attacks they receive, we do see a remarkable increase in scammer activity across the board - throughout many companies and across different industries. To us, it does not feel like BrickLink is being singled out. Does there happen to be a plan in the works to stop this activity? Yes. In fact, most of what is being done to prevent this type of fraud is being done behind the scenes, and BrickLink members are not aware that it is happening.
