Sudden Spike in Singapore Traffic – Possible Bot Activity or Scam? Message:

Hello, I’m hoping someone can help determine whether this is a known issue.

Since Friday, our Lumpiko store has been receiving an unusually high volume of visits from Singapore. We have never had customers or traffic from Singapore before, but in just a few days it has become our second-highest country by visits. These sessions are viewing a mix of very old and brand-new products, but no sales or meaningful engagement are occurring.

A few concerning details:
• The Singapore visits show up in the country ranking, but do not appear on the live map the way all other customer locations do.
• The traffic is steady, repetitive, and does not resemble normal browsing behavior.
• Nothing in our marketing or referral sources explains this sudden geographic shift.

We are trying to determine whether:

  1. This could be bot or scraper activity,

  2. Someone is using a Singapore IP or proxy, or

  3. Other sellers have recently noticed similar patterns.

If anyone has experienced this or if an admin could advise whether this is a known issue and it's being handled, we would really appreciate the insight. Thank you.
