There is currently a mix-up in the auto-generated emails that are created upon scheduling your EventWebinar. The Attendees are given the Panelist call-in password. The email states the correct password, but in the instructions that follow below, the hyperlinked phone number includes the Panelist password instead of the Event Webinar password. If a user calls this number, they will join as a Panelist with a live microphone without realizing it. Note: Clicking on this hyperlinked number while on a mobile phone will tell your phone to dial the whole number.
