Fake E-Gold E-mails & Sites

NOTICE:

When sending Fraud Reports to Report@doshelp.com Please make sure of the following, or your report will be of no value to me. If you need help submitting write me and I will help you.

I'd like to take this opportunity to appeal to the users who report fraudulent, scam & Phishing e-mails here, as well as the owners/officers of the targeted companies/Institutions listed in this site.

Alot of work goes into collecting, identifying the fraud sites, sharing them with the security/privacy community to assist in making up-to-date protection available for everyone.  Most of all reporting the fraud sites to the ISP's who host them in a genuine effort to get the resource closed as quickly as possible. 

In all the years I have performed this service for the internet public on my own, not once has a person, company or financial institution step up and offer any monetary 'thanks' for efforts to save them or their customers the embarrassment of being defrauded. Today, I'd like to offer that opportunity to anyone who would like to show their appreciation.

Regardless of this message's impact on you, rest assured that I will continue to seek out and shut down these fraudulent sites.

Disclaimer: DoShelp.com is in no way associated or endorsed by the company/institution described on this page. The purpose of this page is to educate consumers using actual fraud letters collected. In addition this page serves as a resource to report suspected fraudulent e-mails/websites targeting this company/institution. That information is then used to contact the hosting ISP and request removal of the material reported. * all Trademarked, copyrighted names, logos and other materials are property of their respective copyright/trademark holders used here only for accurate depiction of fraudulent web sites and/or e-mails.
