i thought e-gold and paypal both have practices not to send out emails like this.
E-gold states that they do not send you emails besides the one when you subscribe so i have to say it is a fraude tring to steal your money.
DO NOT click that link and then go and enter your info to login.
Enter the e-gold website into your browser manually, then login and check that your info is ok.
E-gold will NEVER include a link for you to click and then enter your information.
That is how so much fraud takes place. Most people do not know about this.

From the looks of it that link looks very real but as a note if you have to login into your e-gold do it by going to their page at www.e-gold.com and not by links in email.
shoot, I got a couple e-mails like that but for something else. Hope they were legit. I'm gonna check right now.
By the way, you should forward that email to e-gold. Every little tiny thing helps them to catch fraudulant activities.
I get these emails frequently and ALWAYS forward them to e-gold.

i sent the email to egold when i received i will see whart they say
For those that are thinking the link is real, yes, as pasted it is.
However, in the original email, that link would actually be pointing to another page.
For those of you familiar with html tags, it's something like this:
<A HREF="http://completely.different.site/stealyourpassphrase.html">https://www.e-gold.com/login.asp</A>
Unfortunately when most email clients copy/paste, they only take the text, not the associated links. This is why what has been pasted appears to be valid.

Fake Emails purporting to be from e-gold
PLEASE BE ADVISED E-GOLD WILL NEVER SEND YOU AN HTML EMAIL WITH A HYPERTEXT LINK ASKING YOU TO CLICK ON THE LINK TO ACCESS YOUR ACCOUNT!
There are numerous fraudulent emails in circulation spoofing e-mail addresses in the e-gold.com domain. These emails direct you to log into your account to verify information or update information and they usually operate on greed or fear in order to entice victims to click a hypertext link.
These emails may say your account has a value limit, you have received fraudulent funds, your account will be closed for inactivity, or that e-gold is paying monthly interest payments.
Regardless of the subject line of the fraudulent emails, they always have one thing in common. The hypertext link in the email will appear to be to the e-gold website, but if clicked, it directs the victim to a fraudulent website, designed to ensnare the careless by mimicking the appearance of the real e-gold website. The technique used to obscure the true destination of such hypertext links is via the use of HTML formatted e-mail.
The ultimate goal of the criminal is to entice his victims to enter their e-gold account number and passphrase while on the fraudulent website. Once the criminal has gained this information, he has everything he needs to log in to the victim's e-gold account on the real e-gold website and divert the value.
We urge Users to:
Never click hypertext links in HTML formatted e-mail to access your account.
Confirm that you are on the e-gold website before entering your e-gold passphrase into either a logon form or a payment authorization form (see note below about e-gold shopping cart interface):
Verify the address/location/URL starts with: https://www.e-gold.com/
Verify the site is secure (look at the SSL Lock icon at the bottom of your browser window)
Verify that the site certificate is issued by VeriSign to www.e-gold.com
