I just got my very first phishing attempt from someone claiming to be E-Gold!
Here's the email I got:

The bold is where I found out it was a fraudulent email.
The title of the email told me the account was getting suspended because I haven't used it in a long time, it had nothing to do with someone trying to break into my account.
I hovered over the link link and the URL was "egoldq.com".
