--- begin forwarded text Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 05:07:45 -0400 (EDT) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED], LLC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Subject: Gold-Age Notices This message is being sent to everyone who placed a credit card order (whether it was accepted or declined by Authorize.Net) with Gold-Age between 09/16 and 09/29, in order to address some questions we have received -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Gold-Age has changed its rates and policies for credit card orders (and other payment vehicles) effective 10/01/2000. The service charge on orders placed before this date will not be affected. * Many who placed orders over $200 have inquired as to why their e-gold account is not yet funded. As per the policy on our website: there is an additional 7 day hold for CC orders over $200 * In order to better serve and protect our clients, Gold-Age has set up an exclusive Preferred Client website, accessable only by Preferred Clients. Some of the benefits of being a Preferred Gold-Age Client are faster service and lower rates. See our website for more info on becoming a Preferred Client (past clients of Gold-Age that qualify as preferred clients will receive an E-mail in the next day or two with instructions on setting up their User ID & Password for access to the Preferred client pages and order forms), * Gold-Age was hit by over 5 million (USD )worth of fraudulent CC orders over the past week (and we're still investigating more). This significantly slowed our processing for a while, delaying orders that otherwise would have been funded 1 or 2 business days ago (this credit card fraud also almost resulted in the loss of our merchant processing accounts). We apologize for any inconvenience. We are back on track, with a new and improved service (baptism by fire!) and if your order is not subject to an additional hold it will be funded post-haste. Our new order policies and internal screening proceedures should make the majority fraudulent orders a less significant problem. Thank you for using Gold-Age. Regards, Parker E.C.
