Someone Stole My E-gold!

By the words... my e-gold account was stolen near to 4 days ago, too... Strange, don't you think? I had thinking about to open a discussion. I never use the same password in my e-gold account and it is always long and difficult so I think it was a hucker. I was very upset and angry! Unfortunately it happens often with e-gold! I am very sorry, sincere, about he took all from your e-gold, too. But I do not think you'll get your money back from him a polite way.

never use the same password for different accounts. you could search here for e-gold and online security, and now you need to check all your other accounts!

I have no balance in my e-gold account so no use to hunt my account as balance is zero. You should give long passphrase and do not keep open long time your e-gold account and set maximum security device available inside e-gold account that is if ip address is change e-gold staff will send a one time use pin for opening your account one time. However, check your history of payment and see at which account it goes and claim. How we will be safe from hacker and online cheater I do not know any site where to complaint about cheaters?

hi mystery man, bad news about the password & e-gold... one of my pet philosophies is that the best way to learn is through pain - it really makes a lesson stick... what I'm trying to say is that this is an unsavoury experience to have gone through, but it's most likely added some real-life context to all those exhortations that people make to never use the same password for different (important) accounts. it also shows up a key aspect of the e-gold security model - the user has to shoulder personal responsibility for the privacy of the pass-phrase. everything hinges around that. one thing that I CAN suggest for your consideration is having a close look at the Roboform program - it's very good at storing and managing all sorts of sensitive passwords securely on your own PC, as well as offering other useful facilities for filling out online forms and stuff. It comes free with a 30 day trial, and costs $30 to register. Takes a bit of time to play with and get used to how to work it, but VERY convenient for anyone who has multiple passwords to store and use. as for the lowlife who pinched your e-gold stash, he'll get his in the next life - I've read a few mystical accounts of the subject, and anyone who has any conception of what that means would never have done the deed in the first place... if you CAN find a way to get your money back from him - do it! but do try to keep it in perspective with your normal living priorities...

thats too bad, for future i think that you should choose a way that tracks your IP, and then you have to give a pin every time you get in. and your account will not be stolen from

If we are talking about a large sum of money then I would report it the authorities. Is there no safety net for this sort of thing with e-gold? Perhaps they might be able to advise you better.

not e-gold but my twitter account.......but i can't do anything.
