As someone not in any LEGO groups (or at least not using my BL email address), and am still getting the scam emails, I am certain it related to either the hack or fake contact/orders on BL that can harvest seller emails. Had a lot of these orders, immediate cancel request, and no contact there after a few months back. I know it was to phish my seller info as often as the pattern was repeated exactly. But even messages we reply to can do this as the system still lonks our email to those. It really should not do this unless an order is placed, or even confirmed as paid by the system (instant or seller marked). Simply put, contact info should remain better protected until a transaction is deemed legit. BL is largely an open book for all seller info if the party wanting to phish it knows how the site works.
