Unhappy Re: W A R N I N G - E-Gold Scam

No I didn’t try scanning the attachment Cyfr. There was no point because E-Gold does not send such emails. The only email that you get from E-Gold is the logging in security pin number and if they ever respond to an email that you send them. In any case the attachment wouldn’t be a known virus because if it were my ISP would have dealt with it.

Unzipping the attachment could run the programme that it contains straight away and that could be fatal. I wasn’t curious enough to find out.

In fact those emails didn’t even get to my computer as I ‘read’ them whilst they were still in my ISP mailbox.

Practically every day I read that someone has had their E-Gold account emptied because they believed what was written in such emails. Some sound so plausible and people fall for them over and over.

If E-Gold were going to introduce some additional logging in security the information would be on the web site after you log in and it wasn’t.
