Fraudulent E-mails

Please note that Christie's never sends e-mails asking you to reply with your account or other personal information.

E-mail fraud is a common tool of identity thieves. An increasingly common fraudulent activity, called "phishing", uses official-looking e-mails to deceive consumers into disclosing their personal information. The e-mail often directs the recipient to a look-alike Website of a legitimate business, tricking consumers into believing they are responding to a valid request. Other fraudulent e-mails entice users to make a purchase and are designed primarily to obtain credit card or bank account information. Christie's never sends e-mails asking you to reply with your account or other personal information.

To avoid getting caught in any of these fraudulent activities, please remember to:

  • Keep your login and password secret

  • Change your password periodically

  • Never give out your personal and account information by e-mail or telephone, unless you initiated the contact

  • Verify that you are on this page, https://www.christies.com/login/clientLogin.asp, whenever you are about to register, edit or add information to your account, or set up a new Christie's account. You may want to add this URL to your browser's Favorites or Bookmarks menu
