Thats really worse tactics used by them. I dont know how people still fall for it when they see a fake URL easily by hovering the mouse. Anyways, thanks for heads up.

yep this is a very old technique so that the genuine user logs into the fake site with the true user name and passwords..man hackers will stop at nothing..

Thanks for the warning. E-gold is horrible if you get your account hacked. Especially since they don't have chargebacks.

Just another phishing attempt. The best way to deal with this is be vigilant with the way scammers work. There are variations. But the bottom line is you are given a fake link which will trap your user ID and password.

It is a good thing that I am not a member at e-gold because being my naive self I probably would have entered my information.

Jerlene

I'm not a member. Well I am but I don't use them. I never reply to any of these emails ever anyway though.
