Scam warning – avoid this fake e-gold e-mail

Posted on October 21, 2007

If you get this e-mail which claims to be from e-gold, NO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS! I repeat, DO NOT click on the link. It is a pure hack attempt. Here is the e-mail’s text:

This is Letter from Dr. Douglas Jackson; Chairman, e-gold, Ltd.

We wish to advise that our system was updated. And all e-gold users
must update e-gold accounts.
Combining our social networking along with our customer to business
based services that make up our operating platform we will now be
able to provide a much larger environment for users to interact and
transact online.

Click here to start update of your e-gold account(link removed)

I hope to have additional and useful facts shortly and will communicate
them when appropriate. I can assure you e-gold is up and running,
supporting its customers, and continuing to grow.

Dr. Douglas Jackson

The link you should avoid is coming httpxx: // purenrj.com /acct /login. php (link broken up so search engine bots won’t pick up on it. I also added “xx” after the http for similar reasons).

Those of you who are into vigilante justice might want to send a nice DDoS attack their way 😉 A nice e-mail to their ISP would also be such a pleasant thing to do. Whoever is running this site has my never ending hate – maggots!

Ok now, think happy thoughts, think happy thoughts….:)

Spread the love
