User Agreement Section 9.You are prohibited from using E-gold

It's time for a threatening phishing email now. One of those that say that for no particular reason a company has suddenly decided that you have to prove within 24 hours that you can remember your security details.

Why would this happen? Why would any reasonable financial company send such an email, early on the Saturday before Christmas when most businesses have stopped trading and it's highly likely that the email won't get through quickly? The threat to close your account if you don't reply within 24 hours is not one I could ever see a bank issuing like this and backing it up with the second paragraph shows that there is just 1 reason for this email - to panick you into clicking the link and giving away your personal details.

Don't do it - it's a fake email. Here's the contents:
