E-gold clone warning.

I just received an email from wired surf about an egold spoof attempt.
Please be careful.

"It has been brought to our attention that there is a very well donee-gold spoof website out there that could possibly be fooling members intogiving away their passwords and/or PIN codes.

This website is a very accurate clone of the main E-gold.com website
and even contains the SRK protection tool, such as E-gold.com offers. The
website address is www.e-qgold.com, and since this URL is written in
lowercase, it may be extremely hard to notice for those that click on
links within emails.

We were just informed of this by a Wired Surf member who wanted us to
warn potential victims (thank you to Nate).

The way that it works is that users submit their e-gold usernames and
passwords while encountering an authentic looking E-gold login form.
The page indicates that the users account is temporarily frozen and that
in order to re-activate it, they must enter in their email and password
to receive a PIN code via email (very similar to the way E-gold works
if your IP address changes). Once you enter in your details the operator
of the website will capture your information immediately. After a user
enters their details they are informed that the activation was
unsuccessful and that the user needs to contact e-gold support.

Once this has occurred, the website reloads to the real E-gold.com
website where users would attempt to contact the real E-gold support
division for help with their account. By that time, it would be too late.

In light of this new spoof website, we ask that all members of Wired
Surf are extremely cautious when entering their information into a
website. Always ensure that the website you are at contains the URL:
https://www.e-gold.com. E-gold operates NO other entry other than their
main website domain.

It is our suggestion to never click on links within emails, but rather
type in the URL yourself. This will minimize your risks and ensure that
you are only entering your sensitive information into legitimate
websites."

You will be surprised to know that there were Indian wars, cattle rustling, gun fights, gambling and other evening pursuits.

The year 1880 witnessed The South Florida Railroad extend its line down into Orlando from Sanford and the rest of the nation.

Consequently, Central Florida’s fledgling Citrus Industry would rapidly expand with easy access to Northern markets.By the mid-1920s Orlando’s population was only 10,000 but it became a bustling city. The land boom during this period was simply glorious to the growth of tourism industry.
