Default E-gold stealers

E-gold authorities have warned E-gold account holders about the circulating stealers of Egold. Account holders may received email that seems like sent by Egold Admin. But this is not from Admin. Clicking this link would bring you into a new site that exactly looks like Egold website. This is completely fraud and you will lose all your funds because of this.

I received one today and that was the very first! I never click on the links, not even if they are using the proper eGold header!

I get emails that are supposed to be from egold all the time.
I've been using them for 4 years and the real egold company has never sent me any emails other than AccSen PINs.
The next time you receive an email like this, just delete it.

Just remember a simple rule. If you read an email about this kind of things, instead of clicking the link, just go to e-gold yourself by typing it in.

The most common scam mails from egold are those telling you that your account has been suspended, offering you a link for you to log into your account.
To verify if the suspension of your account has in fact taken place, a very simple way would be to log in to your account by typing the URL to egold's website yourself, just like what 121603 had suggested.
