The best thing to do is still not to respond...
but since you’re posting with an account opened today.. it’s hard to tell you more...
indeed, the causes can be many and different from one username to another...
same for the “offense” itself...
As a result... keep going with your activity as if this were just one incident in the life of your business...
you’ll always run into people who criticize left and right just to undermine your business...
and others who will spend their lives envying you.
If you’re honest... that quality always shows, and it will always protect you... underhanded or twisted moves always backfire on those who caused or created them, sooner or later...
Best regards
