• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Anyone else getting these Auto Auction Review Emails? Legit or SPAM?

Anyone else getting emails from "Auto Auction Review", which appears to be aimed at dealers? Normally I would delete and/or unsubscribe, but today's SPAM indicates it's related to Can-Am. I presume it's legit, but I'm not going to sign up for anything. Just wondered if I'm the only one getting these or if they are being sent to other Can-Am owners as well. Doesn't seem like anything a consumer would be interested in.

I have not heard of the organization. Any unknown entity asking you to click on something should be considered a red flag.

I have not received said e-mail, but if I did, it would be in the trash basket quickly. No clicks. :thumbup:
 
Auto Auction review may be a legit site & whoever is just baiting you. If you have previously signed Up at the correct site should provide more information. Otherwise, the reply will have the link to trouble. Good Luck

DO NOT CLICK IN ANYTHING IN THAT EMAIL BEFORE YOU CONFIRM IT'S LEGIT!! :lecturef_smilie:

If you get anything unsolicited, you should just Block it and Report it as Spam! :rolleyes:

If you are feeling particularly brave, or maybe just gullible, then if you must look further, you should use other means to look/search for that 'Auto Auction Review' &/or 'Can Am Dealer Services' mob, maybe even ask your local dealer? If you can find them EXACTLY as presented elsewhere/by other means, STILL DON'T CLICK ON ANYTHING IN THAT EMAIL! Do some more digging into their presence &/or history to check that they're legit before even considering contacting them via those OTHER MEANS,


But NEVER contact ANYONE via a link in an unsolicited email or message;

DO NOT EVEN UNSUBSCRIBE - if it's an unsolicited message, it's highly likely that it's SPAM, or worse!





I've had a quick look, or maybe just a thorough cursory glance, and while my searches may be a little biased cos I'm in Oz & not the USA, I'd still say that the chances are beyond just 'High' that this message is SPAM, or worse! :cus:

These unsolicited messages & their ilk are designed purely to get you to click on any of the links embedded in them, or to ring the number given or contact them via the details provided so that they can rip you off!! If it's phone number, you'll likely get charged massive o/seas premium rates that they siphon off; or if it's an internet link, it can download malware to your device &/or try to extract any useful info that's held on your device - info like your full name; your phone number; your home &/or email address; any banking details; any passwords; your search history; your contact list; literally anything that can be used &/or sold on to help the low-lives relieve you of $$, or maybe just to make life miserable for you!! :mad: Mostly, that sorta info is just sold on these days, then held somewhere by one or more dark-web denizens until some low-life gets around to targeting you/your particular demographic more specifically; and it's all done largely by Bots. They basically look at the activity from all the devices in a given range, yours included, and search the public end of those devices internet activity so they can tailor messages to send on something each individual might be interested in (like Can Am - have you done any searching on 'Can Am anything' lately? :rolleyes: ) or so they can maybe imitate a site those in their target range visit regularly, to help them sucker you into sending them your vital &/or unique info &/or actively rip you off big-time! It's big business - they target millions of people like this, and even if just one in 1000 or more answer, they rip off heaps of money daily - it's a billion dollar industry! :banghead:

So at its simplest, if you didn't ask to be sent this email, then the chances are high that it's SPAM or something even more harmful - so just Report it as SPAM and BLOCK IT! :lecturef_smilie:
