The fnirsi still can be ordered at Ali Express, I have no idea what the problem is with my order.
But it seems that I have an illegal dpox now, that makes it much more interesting....

I will simply do nothing of course. Am I the only one who got this message?

I did not get. I bought from "ShunXin Electronics Store" on Aliexpress.

That sounds… sus 


What was the email address the email came from?

Sounds like a scam for sure but just wondering if it came through “offical” Aliexpress channels, or if they had a data breach / the seller sold the purchase information (I.e. your email address, the order number, etc.).

[chronos42]

It looks not like a scam, it actually came from AliExpress and the Order No. was correct.

[chronos42]

it seems that the shop were I bought the dpox is not existing anymore at AliExpress. But that means nothing and has nothing to do with an "Intellectual Property Infringements" issue.

Sounds like a scam.

It could be Fnirsi that filed the complaint if it's not genuine. Which is hilarious anyway.

Aliexpress standing up for "Intellectual Property Infringement"
