There was something in my email a few days ago, purporting to be from e-gold.com, containing an attachment to be run. Now, I'm pretty savvy about this sort of thing - I don't click on a link, I type in the web address to prevent phishing attacks. I checked the website, and they did mention phishing, like any good website, but it didn't mention this item, so I decided to email them. This was their response:

"The email you received was not sent by e-gold Ltd. It was a fraudulent
attempt to compromise e-gold accounts through a scam known as "Phishing".
e-gold never send unsolicited emails asking customers to click on a link or
an attachment in an email. If you clicked on the link or attachment, there
is a strong possibility you may have a Trojan virus on your computer.
For
more information you may want to review the security recommendations listed
on the e-gold security alert page on the e-gold website."

Duh. I did read their page, and I also *specified in my email* that I was on a Mac! (Techinically, I could probably find a way to run the program, but that's for another post)
