I just had my Audiogon account hacked . . .



All,

I received the email, supposedly from Audiogon, below. Like an idiot, I clicked the link and signed into a phony webpage that looked exactly like Audiogon's.

This morning there were two phony ads placed on my account, billed and even paid for by someone. A member asked a question about one of the ads and the hacker actually answered him before I could tell the member that it was a phony ad.

I notified Audiogon, who took care of it for me right away. I just want to make all members aware of what and how the hackers are phishing for our infomation.

Chuck

My was hacked a few weeks ago. Somebody tried to sell a pair of Wilson sasha cheaply . Fortunately was alerted by a member & I changed my account info quickly . Few weeks ago i bought a reasonably price fr Greece & the seller is a cheat. Complaint to audiogon nothing done. Fortunately was able to get refund thru paypal . Just got to be very carefully nowadays
The same thing happened to me as Krell_man described, and as Roxy54 stated, they changed my info and name under my account description. I have e-mailed Audiogon twice now in three days, and no response.
dblsonds is still trying. Just got another email from what is said to be Audiogon.
Jafant.. you just ruined my day. The porn pop up ads are the ones I love most! But thanks anyway.
