What to do if you get a fake email.

If you get a phishing email claiming to be from e-gold

Never click on anything in the email. No matter how innocent it looks
Forward the email to spoof@e-gold.com
As soon as you have done that delete it from your email client.
Next go to http://www.e-gold.com and log into your account and check the transactions to make sure everything is ok.
If there are any un authorized transactions use the "Contact" on the e-gold site and report it.
They used to have a policy of spent is spent authorized or not. I don't know if this has changed since the big shakeup they have had.


What to do if you find a fake e-gold web site

First if you entered any personal information go immediately to http://www.e-gold.com and log into your account.
Change your password FIRST, THEN check for any un authorized transactions.
Once you have done this click on the "Contact" link.
Look on the left hand side of the new page, in the box entitled "Report a problem"
Fill in the report form fully and as accurately as possible.


Note I have deliberately made the e-gold urls not clickable.
Please feel free to post any e-gold scam alerts here
I currently do not have any as I have always followed the above steps.
However I will in future, after rendering them harmless, post examples that I get in
Please feel free to do the same.
