Avoiding Scams on LEGO Shop
Most LEGO Shop purchases are safe. The scams that do happen follow a small number of patterns. Recognizing them takes minutes.
Common scam patterns
"Too good to be true" pricing, brand-new sellers with branded products, requests to move payment off-platform, urgency-driven messages.
Phishing
Emails or texts that look like LEGO Shop but ask for password, OTP, or payment. Always log in via the official app or website rather than email links.
Off-platform payment requests
Never pay outside LEGO Shop's checkout. Doing so voids buyer protection.
Report and recover
Use the help center to report scams and request refunds. LEGO Shop's protection covers most legitimate disputes.
Frequently asked questions
I paid off-platform — what now?
Contact your bank to dispute. LEGO Shop cannot help.
How do I know if a message is real?
Open the LEGO Shop app and check the messages section. Real LEGO Shop messages appear there.
