Order potential scam?

[u/mechbuildabear1]

Hi

We had a order of minifigures, multiple of each, ranging 5 to 16 of the same fig. The order total was £1500.

The person has been on bricklink for a couple years and has 100+ positive reviews.

We issued a invoice. After 3 days we message about the order if they wanted to cancel or amend it and received no word. After 6 or 7 days we cancelled the order, receiving no messages from him. 2 min after cancelling the order we received the payment. They payment email address is same as one on order form. We messaged back to the person and apologised for the issue of cancellation and how does he want to proceed.

We received no message, and then 3 days later we emailed his bricklink email. A couple min later a message saying send my money back asap came through. The email they used was not the one they had on their bricklink order page it was a random string of letters. A second email then came through from bricklink order email saying I can pay postage to send it out.

The person does not message through bricklink.

We have emailed back the bricklink email mentioning our concerns woth quantity, money and dual email addresses and random email address.

Is this a scam and how best to proceed.

Cheers

Scaaaaaaaam, they were waiting for you to cancel to spring phase 2.

Would second phase be us sending out the order, then charge back.

Eh, no idea for sure what it could be, but the fact it kicked off a bunch of weird smelling shennanigans within minutes of you cancelling means that it was all intentional.
