SCAM? Multiple orders of same items within short time span, with many inactive accounts
Just yesterday I received 5 orders of same item within two hours (never happened before, we usually receive 3 or 4 orders A WEEK), some are within minutes of each other. 3 of which the account are no longer active, the other two seem active, but they all have a number 1 next to their account name (One order or one positive feedback?). Their addresses all checked out OK, but the phone numbers all have area codes that don't match the cities. I tried calling the number, none actually go through but only recorded messages saying cannot leave message to this number.
This seem like a new scam with bogus orders sending to valid addresses. I have had similar experience last year on a different platform, but that was to an address with correct receiver name and phone number, and the the value of the item sold was less than $10. This time the orders are valued over $200 each.

Yours is (372).

Could be a group of riders getting their machines ready for the summer.

·4 months agoIs it possible they are guest accounts? The phone number is a problem. Is that equal to a problem with address? Would guest accounts be "inactive"?

But that's just me.
If you were to cancel the orders, what reason would you use?
