    You can write to E-Gold but I doubt they can do much about it, maybe treat this as a lesson.

    There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you can do. The money has gone. Sorry to hear this. You don´t even need to contact them. They will just close the account to which it was transfered. And there won´t be any money left because those hackers are not stupid.

    Sorry about that but there is nothing more you can do. You should have not disabled the PIN verification. I know it can be a hassle at times, but you would have added a layer of protection to your account.

    Hmm..and your line is based by what facts ?! At least with e-gold you 'get paid' and stay paid not have to worry about charge backs ..etc etc.
    And btw.. Gold rised like mad last 2 years.. If you had $200 deposited in E-gold in 2006 NOW you'll have $260 as the gold price rised..

    you will not be able to get your money back, but you might be able to stop the scammer from getting the money ( their account blocked ) if you contact e-gold

    There is nothing to be done dude, it is all gone! Oh never disable ur verification pin. Does egold even reply to emails? Do they even have a customer care number? Their support is the worst one i ever seen on the internet, once you cant login to ur account, then forget abt that one...its gone for life!!!!

    use a good anti-spyware and anti-virus program.. BUY it and dont use the cracked ones..

    Also, you have no chance of getting your money back if you are not able to crack the pasword..
