CUSTOMER SERVICE EMAIL IS A FAKE


Today, we have become aware of an email that was sent to members as below:

Your audiogon Account Will Be Updated .

The account will expire unless you will re-enter your personal information.
This problem concerns all Audiogon members.

You must fill in the form within 24 hours after receiving this e-mail,or

So we kindly ask you to co-operate and fill in the form required for

THIS IS A FAKE. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL.

Thank you.

Audiogon Management
Thank You.......someone just asked me for my VISA number again..............I hate this.

Have a nice day honest members..............Pat
and the fake 'information update' requests your PIN!!! I hope no one falls for this..Slappy dont do it!!!
So somebody hacked into the Audiogon files ?...........

How can someone get everyones...at least my eMail address?

Is that secured information?

No, Audiogon has not been hacked.

E-mails appear to have only gone out to those who have posted their e-mail address somewhere on the site (in the Forums or Listings.)

This is one of the reasons why we discourage people from doing so.

Thanks,

Audiogon Staff


I believe you....not too many others seemed concerned...so I'll chalk it up as experience.

Never have I given that out before.
I think it may go beyond what Audiogon has said. To my knowledge, I have never provided my e-mail address in a post or in a listing - I got the scam directly to my e-mail, though


4yanx,

I agree with you about this......Never have I given out my eMail address......I am trying to be as nice as possible.

hellooooo......does anybody at home hear me?
No, to the best of my recollection, I have never posted (if that means included in text I wrote on the site) my email address either. But kudos to the Audiogon staff for looking out for we members.
