PHISH WARNING

Yet another phish is doing the rounds at the moment.

This one purports to be from E-gold.

They advise me that there has been a security issue with my account, and ask me to click on a link to verify my details.

I have two observations:

1 I do not have an account with E Gold

2 No reputable company will ever ask you to click through on a link to verify passcodes etc.

It is a phish designed to trick you into revealing your passcodes.

E-gold is committed to maintaining a safe environment for its community. To protect the security of your account, E-gold employs some of the most advanced security systems in the world and our anti-fraud teams regularly screen the E-Gold system for unusual activity.
