Well after the hacking of my e-gold account i wrote E-gold about the abuse and asked what can be done and here is the response from them: Umair, As you now know the email you received was not sent by e-gold Ltd. It was a fraudulent attempt to compromise e-gold accounts through a scam known as "Phishing". e-gold will never send you an unsolicited email asking you to access your account from a link in an email or click on a link in an email. Please review the security alert on the e-gold site for more information. If you clicked on the link or if you opened the attachment, there is a strong possibility you may have a Trojan virus on your computer! Unfortunately you compromised your account by clicking on the link in a phishing email and entering your account details at a fake site. Please be advised that e-gold NEVER send unsolicited emails asking customers to click on a link or open an attachment in an email. Since you clicked on the link, there is also a strong possibility you may have malicious software on your computer. Please review the security recommendations listed on the e-gold security page on the e-gold website. We have investigated and blocked account number 4450281. Unfortunately we will not be able to refund your money because all e-gold spends are final and not reversible as stated in the e-gold account user agreement. e-gold is also contractually prohibited from freezing e-gold accounts or releasing e-gold account information in the absence of a court order or subpoena. You might want to consider obtaining some combination of help from a legal professional or law enforcement to obtain a court order, if the size of your loss warrants expenditure of your resources (time and money) to resolve. If you obtain a court order, in order to ensure you get all pertinent information please: - Ask for e-gold account profile information for account # 4450281 - Ask for transaction history information for account # 4450281 - Ask for information on any other accounts owned or controlled by the individual - Ask for Disposition of funds in questions "what accounts are the funds currently located, this is in case they have been moved around" - If applicable, ask for stabilization of the funds in question "freezing of the account if the funds are still under the control of the perpetrator" - Ask for account profile information for the account where the funds are currently located. This will be needed in case you have to subpoena the third party account owner. This court order should be presented to: e-gold, Ltd. c/o Andrew S. Ittleman, Esq. 1001 Brickell Bay Drive Suite 2002 Miami, FL 33131 Regards, e-gold Abuse~ So atleast that account got blocked i hope he/she have lost more than he/she had made by hacking ,anyways something good after all ,i guess wont be going to court for puny $4.00 or so, so what you guys think did E-gold took the right step or there should be something else aswell that could be done in order to stop hacking?
