-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2001 5:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Urgent message about E-Gold FRAUD ALERT Subj: Urgent message about E-Gold Hi everyone, Of course this could be a false alarm as a lot of them are.... but... if any of you have an E-Gold account it would be wise to be aware of this notice that I just received this morning from a reliable source. Have a productive day! Helen ________________________________________________________________ There is a clever thief out there who is stealing gold with a replica > of e-gold's site. He has sent out emails claiming you have won > $10,000 and to click on the link to log into your egold account. > > The link looks like "www.e-gold.com" but he has replaced the "g" > with a "q" (Q) so it's indistinguishable at first glance. If you > click on it it will take you to a private server that looks EXACTLY > like e-gold's site, but it ISNT. After you have entered your egold > account number and password of course, he drains your egold account > from the real egold site. > > The dns numbers (identifying numbers for the server being used) > traces back to wwwe-gold.com (notice it is missing the dot between > the www and "e"), so both wwwe-gold and e-qold are being used by the > thief. Once you click on it, the url address in your browser will > show numbers similar to 216.147.53.88/acct/index.html, instead of > www.e-gold.com which the real e-gold shows. > > So bottom line, if you get a message telling you you have won egold, > you may want to forward it to e-gold so they can trace it and be on > guard from the accounts he may be using, and be sure you dont log > into the fake one if you cllick on it. > --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
