Can anyone tell me if AudioDeluxe went out of business? Reason I ask, I think I got a spam email asking me to 'Reactivate My Account'. Never had that before. Went online and there is the website, but I haven't been in awhile.

I got the same email and went to the link. They actually did change their site and they migrated over my account. Once I changed the password I was able to view my account with the past purchases. So seems legit.

Thanks so much. I used to use them all the time. They had some good deals on the website.

I was also concerned too, I originally thought it was a phishing email.

Uncle E, will you be having Imaginando GRFX on intro price?

[Uncle E]

I'll ask.

When posting about phishing concerns that pertain to publicly known addresses/ websites, it would be good practice to include that message's specific email address and the link that are being questioned.
If we're to assume that a known email address was used, the inference is that we're to question whether that domain was hijacked or sold to non-trustworthy new owners without notice. And in that case most people would assume that for security reasons you wouldn't open that link, just like you wouldn't open a link from an unknown address.
You opened the link, so why didn't you also email them with your question before posting here?

But I never opened the link. Why would even bother to post such a long winded response to a simple question? Are you some contrarian AI chatbot?

Yeah, WTF kind of nonsense is that? I'd rather have people post here asking about that email and then everyone will know whether it's a legit link or not instead of bothering the dev and waiting days to find out the answer. This is a general discussion thread for discussion, gossip, whatever so it's the appropriate place to post that kind of question and it gets the word out about that email that went to lots of people.

I just checked the website for audio deluxe when I got the email, it was posted on the
obviously revamped site, e.g. pretty legit lookin.

[ben_ita]

Just reactivated the account, everything seems alright (I checked the url before reaching the site and it was the correct one). The link directs you to a page where it's only asked to set a new password, nothing else, and then you're inside your account (my name and purchase history were present). The new site appear to me a work in progress still and I noticed that my cacheback is disappeared.

This is weird - both serials had been used before (including one by me).
