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
your account will be suspended.
So we kindly ask you to co-operate and fill in the form required for
validation..

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

Thank you.

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,

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

Never have I given that out before.
