Why is Audiogon checking my browser?

There's an influx of scammers at the moment so I'm sure Tammy has her hands full. I bought at item from a member with multiple sales history, but apparently he was hacked and someone was using his account to sell high ticket items. The seller then 30 minutes later posted another ad under a different user with different pictures. I'd bet they're trying to keep the scammers at bay. 

I am using Chrome browser, and the same PC to log in for years. I know earlier, I would get locked out if I was using a different computer, but this Capcha stuff is really tedious.

Today, it seemed to check the browser and allowed me to log in without the Capcha stuff. Hopefully, it holds.

I know scamming has gone to new depths, but putting the onus on members makes using the site tedious.

No worries Capcha will be antiquated in the not-to-distant future as AI becomes even more prevalent.  

I didn't know bots were scammers...must be hard to pack up gear when it has no arms or legs.

BTW, I have never had the Capcha screen come up on A'gon (now I probably just screwed myself).

 I haven't been seeing any spam threads which were popping up every night.  I think Tammy, et al are trying new security methods.

there's still times that i try to access the AG home page and i get a page saying that i have been blocked by AG.  go figure.
