Hello, I am here for an advice. Someone logged in my egold account and sent the funds to another egold account. The question is, if I know info about the person, do I have the right to ask police or something? Because it was password phising, and I'm affraid that it can't be proved anyhow that he did it. Since he might've been using a proxy. I want to know what can I do. Help appreciated. Regards, Radu
Have you emailed egold support and told them that someone has accessed your account without authorisation.
Login to ur account and contact them,they will give u all the details but they wont reverse the funds.
no chance you will get anything: you can only get the acocunt blocked the money was sent to. but this won´t punish the other person: the money won´t be anymore in this account. also you will never have his real info, they are not stoopid. there is nothing big you can do and you have to consider it as a lost. happened to me once too. sorry for this
It's your fault for falling probably for a lame email, there is nothing that you can do now! oh, and egold is not a scam processor! at least, i never had problems and i use them for about a year and half!
Because 99% of the reason people use E-gold is to scam other people. And E-gold company have accept HYIP's and Autosurfs. So that means there scammers!
I would suggest to stay away from e-bullion. Just have a read there: http://gdcaonline.com/content/news.html what happened to threadstarter doesn´t have to do anything with e-gold and scamming. It´s his fault if the account got hacked, not e-golds. and the master rule of e-gold is: be paid - stay paid! so there is nothing they could do. maybe it sounds hard but that´s it. everyone knows how e-gold works and that there exists no chance of doing a chargeback so the account security should be as high as possible so those things can´t happen.
Paypal is the safest for buyers. Egold the safest for sellers. This is because in PayPal, buyers can chargeback if they get scammed. Egold is best for sellers because fraudulent buyers can't charge back after recieving goods.
this happened to me but with paypal. i contacted paypal straight away and to be honest with you, they did fuck all! i went to the police and they couldnt prove that i didnt send the money to somebody else myself. as it was only £100 i decided i wouldnt waste no more time in trying to get it back, the lesson i learned was tell NOBODY your password. not even your partner, your kids, your business partner, your employee's. tell nobody!
Egold is inhabited by dens of thieves. There are books all over the internet on how to hack egold accounts and scam people out of their gold. The best thing to do is not leave sums of money in your acount, exchange it out or spend it. Also, use a double firewall, (blackice or similar, and another such as zonealarm pro) And change your password each time you login to your egold account. It's a pain but it is necessary, I'm afraid.
i'm not using firewall, didn't changed my password for 2 years, those books are only good for noobs and those usually don't hav more than 5$ in their eg account!
