    When I tried to login into my egold account I got this message:


    "Your account has been frozen in compliance with the laws which govern e-gold, Ltd. and its managers. e-gold, Ltd. has taken this step in strict compliance with the law. No further information is available at this time. When additional information is available it will be provided upon account login. "


    what does this mean? What should i do? Will i ever get my egold back? I dont even know why its frozen

    I am reading everywhere on the internet that e-gold accounts get frozen without reason, looks like e-gold turned into a scam

    I used real information and everything

    dammit

    I had $140ish in there

    Do not use egold anymore, i would get all of your funds out of there ASAP

    what is a good alternative payment processor to use? Ebullion? I already have paypal and MB, I dont like either that much.

    if u can login u can still get your funds, you can send it to an "old" egold account. Look for the member here with the name money monitor, he can help you...

    I can help him only if he is able to login to his account. Looks like this is a permanent block.

    They do not answer their phones. What time is best to call them at? Like what timezone and time, (3-5PST for example or whatever)

    I sent a fax of my passport even without them asking me so maybe that will speed things up

    That sort of ruins the anonymity aspect of eGold!

    The government is trying to crack down on E-Gold for BS reasons. Read google news.

    EG is no longer safe to use and I personally do not recommend it, LR/WMZ are better options for the moment.

    Egold was never even close to paypal. How much do you have in your account? My advice is to forget about it.
