Hello,

I’ve decided to start ignoring them, but the most recent one pretended to be an actual customer and then started asking about my sales and if he could “give” me some tips. The dude was super rude for someone trying to sell something. He also sent me an email apologizing for being rude and if he could once again “give” me some tips. Do they think this actually works? Any good way to block them?
