My account gets locked on a pretty regular basis. The first time it happened, I contacted audiogon and asked if it was legit, and why. Turns out someone in Florida repeatedly tries to access my account. I'm in Wisconsin. If you go to "my page" you can pull up a history of when, and where you log in from. If you see an unusual place, change your password. I get a link from audiogon that allows me to unlock my account right away. I unlock it, then go immediately to my page, and change my password. It takes about 30 seconds. Other than a slight inconvenience, its not a big deal. To my knowledge, nobody has ever actually gained access to my account.
When buying through Agon a buyer should always-
contact the seller using the "Contact Seller" through the Agon system.
A member here on Agon had his Agon account hacked by an identity thief.
The thief posted a fraudulent ad using the Agon member's username and account information.
The thief also used his own email address in the ad to contact him with any questions. That was convenient of him....
The buyer is out $8,000 + dollars.
Always use the "Contact Seller" through the Agon system.
If you do not use Paypal to buy, make damn sure the seller is the real deal! You could be out $8,000 + bucks.
