[e-gold-list] e-gold - the safest place to keep your money

[Tom Nicholson]

Around two weeks ago the accounts for my exchange business were blocked with
in excess of 50kUSD in them. I received the same generic email from them
(e-gold) to which I have tried many times to get further responses but it
has become apparent to me that they actually block emails from you after
sending the initial Right of Association message. I know this because they
have ignored all further emails from me until I tried again from a different
email address and received the same canned crap.

Calling them yielded but an even more rude and bizarre result, I was told if
I didn't like it I could call the "authorities". They know full well I live
a good 18 hour flight away and am not an American citizen. I asked if I
could have my money back via Omnipay and this woman laughed at me saying of
course Omnipay doesn't accept from blocked accounts.

The suggestion she gave for removing my money was to find an exchanger who
will accept from blocked accounts. Since I know a number of them due to my
work in the industry the last couple of years, this was not a problem, not
until when they inquired to e-gold they were informed their account would be
blocked instantly if they received money from me.

After a week of non replies and rude helpdesk operators, I was lucky enough
to have a notable member of the e-gold community make a request on my behalf
so I could at least know what was going on. According to them I've been
soliciting scammers by posting on their message boards. Now this is a
bizarre accusation, the only board I've ever posted on is talkgold and I
couldn't even tell you the names/addresses of any scamming boards if you
held a gun to my head.

So where does this leave me?

1: E-gold block my emails and I'm suspicious that they've even blocked my
phone number as I've been calling now for 3 days 5+ times a day without
being able to get a connection. Why would they not reply to me?

2: The only person even associated with e-gold who will give me the time of
day is Jim Ray who simply told me to contact DDU. Obviously this is smoke
and mirrors since they ignore my emails and shrug me off on the phone.

Probably most importantly;
3: Obviously they have the right not to deal with me if they choose. The
thing that worries me is that their idea of Right of Association is to
actually keep all my money in the process and proceed to stonewall me. If
they were under New Zealand jurisdiction I would have called the cops long
ago, but that's not an option I have, they know it and seem to take a sick
pleasure in it.

What further concerns me is that no one seems that bothered by it, like it
hasn't happened to them yet so why be concerned. Obviously there's no way I
can afford to lose this kind of money, particularly since a portion of it is
a family loan and a reasonable amount is due for the taxman early next year.
