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

2015-02-23 18:47:04 UTC



Content may be removed for one or more of these reasons:

· 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
