Not being content with running off with their investor’s money, Ralf now sends out emails to these same investors telling them that all is OK.
Investors will then be asked to log in and deposit $0.01 to verify their e-gold account. The deposit page for the $0.01, however, is a fake e-gold site, designed to steal the investor’s password and immediately empty their e-gold account.
A lot of people fell for it, including someone I know. I get the details from him, and have contacted e-gold about this. It’s funny how there are a lot of victims but very few report these incidences.
Anyway, I got a reply from e-gold, and the account that stole the money has now been blocked. The problem with blocked accounts is that they cannot receive funds, but they can still do whatever they want with the money. (that’s my understanding based on the email below)
Hmm.. maybe I’ll email that lawyer guy who’s been an a$$ to other HYIPs.
Here’s e-gold’s email:

We have investigated and blocked account number 3507179. Unfortunately we

is also contractually prohibited from freezing e-gold accounts or releasing
e-gold account information in the absence of a court order or subpoena. You
might want to consider obtaining some combination of help from a legal
professional or law enforcement to obtain a court order, if the size of your
loss warrants expenditure of your resources (time and money) to resolve.Thank You,

Hi
I received the same email from http://www.uk-reinvest.com/
Here is what they say:
We’ve added a new requirement for all accounts.
From now, you will need to complete an additional verification payment of $0.01, that will be paid back to you. Recently there was a lot of referral cheating attempts and this authorization procedure will prevent UK Reinvest from these issues.
I almost fell for it.
I guess the person who made the statement that “99.99% of HYIP are scams” is right.

I dont have to much confidence left in E-gold nowadays.. Thy block accounts on daily bassis , ask for documents to be send or even DELETE accounts without paying you the balance..
And guess what .per their terms they have the right to do it:
” 4.6. Right of Association Issuer reserves the right to refuse service to particular individuals or entities, at its sole discretion, with or without cause.”
Read a story on my blog on how a guy got his account frozen with $5500 inside
