Possible new Audiogon phishing scam


I just checked my email and found four emails from Audiogon. Each email was supposedly from Audiogon saying a post of mine was removed. The post of mine that was removed was displayed in the email. Each email was of a different post that was supposedly removed by the moderator.


Example of one of the emails.

I removed the posted message from the copy and paste info below. All posts were from older posts of last year.

Hi jea48

Your Post was removed by a moderator

· It looked like spam

· It was abusive towards another member

· It depicts explicit and/or violent content

· It contains profanity

I did not click on the audiogon link at the bottom of the emails.

None of the posts in the four emails fell under any of the four reasons given for the posts being removed by the moderator.


Here are the actual Agon guidelines

Could be, jea48-

let us hope this is a ploy by some 12 y/o kid in china or so...

I hope that will this newest iteration, Audiogon, is not doing away w/ past threads!!!
Got my first one last night regarding a post from almost a year ago. I don't remember the post at all. But it could just be A'gon finally cleaning up some of the treads. In the past they have been very generous regarding posts that are downright mean and loaded with profanity. In the past they have just deleted the entire thread not just an offending post.
Just did a search on the deleted post of mine and they deleted the entire thread. I remember it now. It involved a member bashing a company who was very out of line since the company had offered him a choice of solutions. The member took up the companies offer and continued to bash them.

Better late than never. Good work A’gon

Al - that was the post
Hey, me too! Two posts were supposedly deleted. What was strange was they weren't trolls. Ha ha
