    I have given my email address to one website to inquire about getting US bank a/c for Non-US. After that I am regularly getting spam emails from that website. Today I got a new email from them & it is regarding benefits of having US bank a/c. Surprisingly I read a sentence in that email saying you can transfer your fund from US PayPal a/c to e-gold using xoom.com services. Is it true ? Does anyone have ever done so ? I am not seeing any such option but may be available for those having US a/c. Please share your thoughts.

    Sorry to say but that is not true. I send and receive payments through Xoom regularly and I know that they don't convert PP to EG.

    Its is totally a spam/scam email , its not true , and i also think the xoom.com url will also be a scam in that email , may be it will redirect you to some other phishing website. Keep away from it , there is no such option in xoom. You can directly as xoom customer service and you will get aware.

    If you have a us bank account then you can also receive money from paypal directly.
