I got one similar from a different Bonanza account set up today 12/20/24. I’ve copied the message and sent to Bonanza support seeking an explanation. If it’s a hack, this is the latest of several this year at least.

Of course, noticing your account was suspended is difficult here on Bonanza since sales are already few and far between… ;)

I got the boiler plate response from Bonanza “support” – sending it on to “the team”. Just shut these accounts down and make sure new accounts can send wild card messages out to large numbers of Bonanza users. Other platforms seem to have this covered already.

CANNOT send out. LOL

yup, got 3 email notices from 3 random users whose account were created on Dec 20, 2024 and telling me that my account has been temporarily restriced and click on a link they provided to follow the unlocking process. LOL jokes on them. I had one sale so far. Also, I am a long time eBayer.

This just happened to me as well, even got two of them from different user names for good measure. The weird link and the fact that they spelled “access” as “assess” tipped me off right away.

I am at three from 3 separate accounts. I keep reporting them but this is ridiculous.

Yes, it is! Bonanza needs to tighten up their security (again).

Five So far today for me. I responded with the laughing emojis

Never ever answer such messages. Now they know, you are real and alive. A perfect target.

I got 6. Many of us are now under attack. I hope Bonanza will resolve the problem ASAP.

We received 2 messages from different buyers both having the same link.
I guess a few more will be coming shortly.

I do not see the Report this user link? Does anyone know how or if we should report these messages/buyers?

I have received 5 of these messages today. Please do something, as this is beyond annoying

Answered a question early this morning “when can you ship for Christmas?”. I replyed “today”. Then I received 4 of these suspension notices. One of them was from the user OP mentioned. The others were all different. The reply link had something to do with “WorldOrder”.

Just noticed that the id from the shipping for xmas question was created 12/19. I had the figurine packed & ready, & was checking all day to see if they bought it, so that I could run it up to the PO. Guess I can put it back on the inventory shelf :(
