Dear e-gold member *******,

Because recently dispatching of the harmful programs to e-gold users became more frequent and
quantity of complaints for unapproved withdrawal of money from users' accounts has grown
vastly it is our earnest request to install the following encryption update to your computer:

- e-gold encryption update:

Given update blocks all known in the present situation trojans, which allow to withdraw money
from your account without your knowledge.

In case of disappearance of the funds from your account e-gold is not responsible for that if
present e-gold encryption update wasn't installed on your computer! To install encryption
update please follow installation instructions on our website:

https://www.e-gold.com/acct/update.html

Thank you for using e-gold!

The URL actually leads to http://e-gold-payment-server.com/acct/update.html
The domain was created June 29, 2005
The WHOIS information differs from e-gold.com
I recieved the "Trojan horse TR/FURootkit" (AntiVir) when surfing

All E-Gold users, be careful :blink:
