E-Gold Phisher Scam

Today I received the below e-mail message,

 

and its not even linked to e-gold website. It is linked

( this is a scam ) http://www.e-gold.com-av.at/acct/login.html

here original domain is "com-av.at". and "e-gold" is a sub domain created under com-av.at, concatenating two words together creates e-gold.com-av.at That will confuse the users and users will think think they are entering e-gold.com.

 

Yes, In general just always remember do not click on any link in your email.Scan the link. Copy the link and paste it to notepad and check if they're using http:// instead of https:// just like deluxdon have said.

This applies to any payment processor btw.(paypal moneybookers, egold and etc)

Do not click this link
( this is a scam ) http://www.e-gold.com-av.at/acct/login.html

 

yeah~
it's better to type~
https://e-gold.com
do not use other link login to egold .

 

Thanks for informed us.

I think we should login from their home page. Even you have mail from E-gold.

 

Its common,I get this type of mails even on other ids(not associated with egold).

 

You really should just look at URLs before clicking anything. I, on the other hand, just manually choose to type URLs in my browser's address bar to avoid all of this nonsense.

 

never open from mails
