Order Scam?

GraceCreations — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 12:25:53 GMT

I just received an online order ($85 + shipping) and the shipping address is a logistics hub in Miami. I also received a high risk alert from square. Not sure how to handle this as I don’t want to get scammed but don’t want to lose a sale either. The whole thing just feels suspicious to me based on the alert and shipping address: 13443 Nw 19th Lane
Af-023549
Miami, FL 33182

I don’t know what AF-023549 part of the address could mean.

Anyone have this come up?

HI, it's an international forwarding service. The AF-023549 is the buyer's account number at the location so the forward transaction can be billed to their account. If it's a high dollar item, I would not send. If low dollar multiple items, nothing really of value and can take the loss, then send.

@GraceCreations @Gold This is a scam I’ve seen floating around the facebook groups as well. I wouldn’t trust it at all.

Do be sure you’ve enabled Risk Manager on your dashboard to help catch some of these shady transactions. It’s a great way to save yourself the hassle.

I had this a few months ago. Suddenly out of nowhere I had two orders on my website. I don't get any orders on my website. It is only there for informational purposes, but I did have a few items in the store.

I looked up the address and names and emails didn't match, so I just cancelled.

I then pulled all of my items off the store. I'm primarily brick and mortar.
