Potential scam - huge orders

Someone made a huge order from my online store yesterday, which in itself made me suspicious because i sell jewellery and they bought so many different styles, a totally ridiculous amount. Today they made another large order, half the value of the first order but still bigger than any other order I’ve had. To me it seems like a definite scam, the buyer is across the world and I am very suspicious. If anyone has any suggestions on how to protect myself I would appreciate it, as I don’t want to lose out on £350 worth of stock. I haven’t even sent the first order out so to make such a big one within a day seems unbelievable, I was thinking I could message them to try and figure out why they are buying so much but not really sure what to say. Ideally I would just not send them anything and refund them cause it seems too good to be true.

Is this copyright infringement?

For example, if I create a product that uses the same colors as a character and name it something related to said character but not their name, not using their face or logos, am I still infringing copyright in the UK? FYI: Just have a few ideas floating around in my head. I haven't actually created or sold anything. Just asking if anyone has some first hand knowledge, I will ask a lawyer if I decide to take these ideas further.
