We've received reports of a recent uptick in phishing attempts targeting our community members. We are actively identifying and deactivating fraudulent accounts that impersonate Discogs and attempt to collect personal information through fake verification requests. We are also taking additional measures to prevent these messages and protect our community
Discogs will never ask you to verify your account through a Group, Forum, or other social space.
If a message appears phishy, ask yourself: MUST U act? Each letter is a reminder of what to check: message, urgency, sender, tone, and URLs. When even one of these is suspicious, do not select the link.
