eGold Questions - Page 2

Despite the fact that I have not used my account so far I think that egold is pretty much secure.
You should not share your password with anyone and do not get phished.

Also you should keep changing passwords frequently in order to avoid fraud and use a combination of numbers and letters. That might help.

Why do you need to share passwords anyway? I've read a lot of posts in forums about sharing passwords. Why do some people do that? It is like giving away your cards' pin number. Anyway, I hope e-gold can provide a better security feature later on because it seems that there are still many complaints about their security management.

If you activated the IP verification feature of your egold account, sharing your password may not even work because every time egold detects a change in your IP address, you are required to retrieve a PIN from your email account to open your egold account.

Yes, you can't say that enough, or pass needs to be unique and changed often! I have almost had both my paypal and ebay accounts phished before, not cool!

For example.

Some fraud web sites will ask for your e-gold account number and password when you attempt to buy from them, they word it differently, so it seems like part of the transaction.
People that are unfamiliar with e-gold just follow the directions and give them their password.

Also, what happens sometimes is you get an e-mail asking you to go to a web page and confirm your password, but the site only looks like e-gold, that's what tommy mentioned, don't get phished.

Cheque facility isnt available.

Cheque facility isnt available.

So how to get your money from an e-gold account . I have searched a lot but found nothing . Only one way which i know is to exchange it with paypal after paying something but it is not a secure way .
