I have already got 2 of those emails.
Don't people have better things to do with their time. It's beginning to be annoying getting all those false emails. And I feel so sorry for them that doesn't know that the emails are fake.

there is a security option on egold to only allow a specified IP address to log into an account. even a specifoed range. i think everyone should look into that.

That only applies for automation access. It doesn't restrict what IPs you can use to log in manually.
