How the hell do they know a person is engaging in "fraudulent activity" and what evidence would they have to present to the owner of the account that it has been closed down? And do they have a policy of closing down an account based on just suspicion? And do they close down an account without due process or notification so that one morning you go to access your account and you find "ACCESS FORBIDDEN" written across the computer monitor. I had this unfortunate experience with Hotmail - went in to check my e-mail and "ACCESS FORBIDDEN" is screaming at me in block red letters. That's it - no explanation except the usual doublespeak and ABSOLUTELY no recourse, So, screw MS and all they stand for - just another proxy for BB. (And their OS is a POC - antiquated, byzantine and just plain cumbersome). I opened an e-gold account because what I do with my e-gold is nobody else's business and I certainly do not want e-gold acting as a proxy for UCCA (United Criminal Cartel of America alias the Feds). As for the so-called alleged hackers that I referred to, this is what they did- wrote a program for a particular e-gold account they wanted to rob and this program sat, so to speak, at the account's doorway, while it feverishly spat out randomly generated password combinations which took a few minutes to generate, tried the password, and if it didn't gain access, immediately started generating another one. This meant that the owner of the account simply could not access their account. And e-gold is off for the week-end ( a long week-end, I might add) and there is absolutely NO-ONE to talk to - this is unacceptable for a business such as e-gold. regards, Kaare Bursell Visit The Alchemycal Pages http://www.alchemycalpages.com and purchase your copy of "The End Of Medicine" ______________________________________________________ Get Paid...
