E-Gold Hack Beware

Tweet

I received an email from "@ e-gold.com" AccountRobot_donotreply, dated 15 May 2007 13:01:39 with subject "Notification of e-gold account Blocked!" This is the full message: X-Mailer: PHPmail Dear e-gold account holder, Access to your e-gold account has been temporarily disabled due to the number of incorrect login attempts. This has been done to secure your account and to protect your private information in case the login attemps were not done by you. Account access will remain disabled until this issue will be solved. If you are the rightful holder of the account, please click on the link bellow and log in to account as we tr to verify your identity. http://www.e-gold.com/acct/login.html?Unlock=code?EAA16F3D6........ We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and appreciate assistance in helping us maintain the integrity of the entire e-gold system. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Please do not reply to this automatically generated email message. ======================================================= Note: I did not put the exact link to prevent Mylotters to click on it and visit the site which I'm sure a hoax. This email is definitely a HOAX since I can login to my account without problems. If you happen to receive this message, check first your E-gold account if indeed it was blocked. If it is, then contact the E-gold support, DO NOT click on the link on the email. It will lead you to a page which looks exactly the same as the E-gold login page that when you input your E-gold login details your account will be compromised. Please inform all your friends also about this to prevent this puny hackers from hacking E-gold accounts.
