Bumping it back to top....great info!
Phishing Scam?
I see in the archives there was a problem and it looks like it might be back. Can anyone on staff help me out here? You can see the obvious danger in disclosing this type of information.
NEVER GIVE OUT PERSONAL INFO VIA EMAIL !!!! PERIOD ...
Even though it may look legit - it's a fake and email is the least secure way of soliciting or sending information. It looks like it points me to a secure address but dont buy it for a second. I logged in and checked mt account and there is no mention of it there or on the home page.
I got this email this morning :
Dear Member,
Due to the fact the AudiogoN community is growing, we have to make a general system revision and create an email token for every account in order to keep our marketplace secure and reliable for the current active buyers and sellers. As an extra security check you'll have to confirm your identity by submitting your last payment billing information's, without your credit card being charged.
The email token has to be created within 48 hours or your AudiogoN account will be temporarily disabled until further notice.
Please go the following web page:

Googling "secure.audiogon.com" returns exactly one hit (vs. gazillions for forum.audiogon.com). Then check the thread it points to (especially the identical link a couple of messages down) 'cause it points to the same destination: CanuckAudio You can ping audiogon.com & forum.audiogon.com and get an address - not so with "secure.audiogon.com". Positootely gotta be a phishing expedition... |
