Beware of E-gold phishing account --- FAKE E-GOLD LOGIN FORM---

At last back to blog after few days work on out town. I have missed some days for blogging here.
For e-gold account holder beware of new phishing method when you received an email tell you that your e-gold account can be suspended through several term. This story begin when I read list of my inbox mail, there is one email got my attention. The email was from EG Service with subject “Notification of e-gold account update “. Then I read message like this

“Dear E-gold customer;

click here and re-enter your account information. If your problems could not be resolved your account will be suspended for a period of 24 hours, after this period your account will be terminated.

I have often received this kind of message and I know this is one of phishing method, after I search information about this on internet.

Why this is a phishing? Well, if you click the link provided, it will be hyperlink to an address where it will ask you to enter your account number and password as usual when you want to login to your e-gold account. But actually the given address is not the real e-gold website, because the address is using IP address while when you login to your real e-gold account the address is www.e-gold .com/acct/login.html

The different are like this:

http://65.18.160.212/acct/login.html?claimpayment.jsp&batchid=8778462&accid=468571&suspend&sender=e-gold ---> This one is phishing

and

https://www.e-gold.com/acct/login.html ---> this address is real www.egold.com

That’s all I can tell about this phishing method, I don’t know how many e-gold account have been crack through this method. But beware of this e-mail.
