Thanks for the heads up. Fake CC companies, people claiming to be from BOA or your bank starting with dear valued customer instead of your name are all trying to cash in by getting your information. I wish I had just a small amount in an ATM account. I think if you put the numbers in backward (at the ATM) it alerts the police (that you need help) but will still give you cash in case you are being help up. Something has to be done to stop these crooks. Hope you were not burned. Best of luck.
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
