I have received this e-mail recently, if you received this, dont log to your account using this e-mail links, because they are FAKE and redirect you to another site where they can STOLE your account password.
If you have used the link of this e-mail to log in your E-GOLD account, please go to E-gold website and CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD NOW before it?s too late !

in message header, it says that message was from chat.ru ([68.102.5.52])

Here is the message i received:



After i discovered this fake link, i have asked E-GOLD support about this strange e-mail, and here is the answer:



Never log to your E-gold account using e-mail links !

They should go after the person that is sending it. It is someone using Cox.net in the US.

68.102.5.52 equals ip68-102-5-52.ks.ok.cox.net.

Is there more to the header than that though?

Post the full header if you can, you can edit the TO: email addresses, but dont change anything else.

I got that same e-mail, and I have the header of who sent it. It is some scammer in Russia that is sending these e-mails.

I got two different ones. You can see the complete header (without my addy) at the links below. I also have the whois on both domains. Have no idea if it is legit. The fact that there has been a rash of them lately maybe because someone was advertising a link at e-specie on how to hack e-gold accounts. They 1st link I saw (at e-specie) was disabled the 2nd link went to a group at msn.ca.

Poncer, dont work on the chat.ru. You work on the IP that is next to it. I have made a post in another thread on here somewhere explaining how to read the headers. IF you are in doubt about it run the headers through Spamcop.

It seems though there might be a few people doing this. Or just two, but the chat.ru in the emails is a fake.

have you not read other post


ok people, some of you have been getting emails and telling everyone if this is a scam or not
This is to clear it all once and for all
if you get an e-gold email dont open it just erase it, they dont send out emails, the only email you will receive is when you first join. They will send you an email with your account number, but this is the only email that you will ever receive.
always make sure you see https:// when your login in

ALWAYS USE THE MINI KEYBOARD TO KEEP OF KEY LOGGERS, I know how key login programs work and its very easy to get a persons info.
everything that your even typing now can be key logged.

Dont use any spyware programs like gator or any sort that already has forms filled when your FILLING OUT FORMS DUH!!
go to http://download.com.com/3000-2094-10045910.html and download this program is will scan your computer and find any spyware programs you have installed DONT THINK YOU DONT HAVE ANY , JUST BECAUSE YOU DIDNT INSTALL THEM. Most of them install themselves. Your gonna be
surprised to how many nasty little programs your going to find.

DOWNLOAD A GOOD FIREWALL, LIKE ZONE ALARM. go to http://downloads-zdnet.com.com/3001-2092-10153453.html and download the latest version. This is one of the best Firewalls around and I recommend it. Keeps most hacks from coming into your computer and it will always ask you if you want your info to leave. Very secure.

Last but not least, download a good anti virus. PCcillin is a very good one. go to http://www.trendmicro.com/en/products/desk...luate/trial.htm and download it. For extra added security buy the prog. But they do have a freeware. PCcillin will automatically scan your computer once a week and by month. Search one part of your comp then onother and it updates itself, when you log into the internet. If you use DSL when you first start your comp it will ask you if you want to download the latest update or version of PCcillin. Doesnt get any easier then this now.

Thats it for now, Hope this is useful to most of you!!
