I signed up for this e-gold game in the downline builder, just for fun, and bought one share of virtual stock for $1.40 e-gold. I sold it yesterday for $1.95, because I got tired of waiting for it to go any higher, and today I got this e.mail from e-gold:

Does this mean they stole $680 from some poor person's e-gold account to pay people for this game?? I mean, I just signed up for a bit of fun, never meant to spend or make more than a buck or two...am I a criminal now??

OK, the 2 are completely unrelated. This is another e-gold scam to get you to click the link in the mail and they can find out your info. If you get this, DON'T click the link!!
