This is an important thing, so please if you want to be updated about risks of dealing with people of this Industry and this world please read at all this article.
There's a software walking all the internet, and supposed sellers come to you normally by email, messengers or PMing you in forums offering this software to you. They offer a supposed demo version, then they send you a link to you download the file of this program in internet, normally this kind of files are hosted in servers already well known for sharing many pirated content like rapidshare, megaupload, yousendit (I'm not attacking or talking anything bad about this sites of hosting). They also try to lie to you saying that if you want the full version it costs 1400$, it just a trick to make you download the demo version and test it.
But dont download this program, noway! In first place it doesnt work, you will not be able to make the deposits, it's just a program that will stole you by your egold account. It already happened to my friend and I watched very sadly because he believed (once he was very curious just to see if that really works) in the scammer that said him he could with that software to make free deposits in many sites and later withdraw them, he tried it to check, the curiosity made him lose 271$ in the age and still had to make another account, and he also decided to format the PC, we were and still suspect this software spy you and log your passwords. I was just observer in this time, I was preparing myself to get into this danger business, and by seeing other ones dealing and investing is the best way to learn, of course that doing by yourself is even better.
So guys I recommend you all that never touch in this kind of thing, I know the curiosity is very big and that you will feel a pain to click and check but dont do it for your wellfare in this Industry. Because this scammers really take all you have, they dont want to know if is 1$ or 1 thousand. I really hope you get warned with this post because a dealer of this Industry needs all this kind of information to know what to do in this moments. This fist basic principle is: never click any link without have sure of what is the source, if is secure, if is free of internet worms. And is very good that you use a program to secure your computer, an Internet Security software, an Antivirus, a Firewall, an Anti-Works, and is to be keeping the program always updated without forget to run Virus checks every week or at least every 15 days.
I just want to remember you that it's not a new thing, but still is alive. Just be be careful!
Below I bring to you a screenshot of a talk with a scammer that tried to sell me this software, my purpose with this is just to warn you about this kind of people and not expose anyone, although internet, unfortunately in this times keeps people very anonymous.
Check the conversation below with the scammer:

Person asks you: "Hello, do you want to cheat?" Your answer: "Yes" And the person cheats you.
Whose fault is it? Of course, yours. Just don't need to try to do bad things.

I already watched this film once ago, I'm just warning people about it, when the scammer came on me saying I could cheat some HYIPs I said "?" just to permise him go ahead and try to deal with me, but he failed because he could not know I knew of the fraud.
For those here who want to keep away from these scammers I recommend that dont believe in this kind of people selling softwares, avoid to click in links came to your email, prefer to type the proper link of the site in your brownser and go to it, and also a good tip is to avoid publishing your Messengers ID on MMG Profile, like Netty said.
The ID on Yahoo Messenger of this scammer is freshmeat_111 and he called himself as Josh Singelton, is obvious that these scammers are always changing names and IDs to fraud, so keep warned and think before follow, buy, or give your informations to anyone.

Check post before yours and you will see the name and id of the scammer came on me, he tryed to let me believe he was hummi, then I said: "If you are hummi send me a Private Message in MMG". He did not.
I'm warning you all about this kind of tool to scam people, the curiosity can make you fell in the hands of these scammers that will just stole the money you have in your egold account.

There are dozens of prgrams out there offering to hack egold, hyips, cheat at poker etc.. but all of them are scams, trojans or other nasty stuff. Don't be taken in by the social engineering.
And remember...
If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

I dont care if the software show me how to sneeze Gold bars I tell them to + off. Then I do a Black ice ping. I am sure that they wonder what just happened to their connection. I hope it puts them off scamming for a day or two.

wtf? I was just informed that someone tried to scam people using my nick? Please do not believe such people as my msn messenger is qylii@hotmail.com and my yahoo messenger id is hummilqy. What the hell does these scammers gain from using my nick wt....
by the way josh singelton ive seen this nick before, hes added me on yahoo messenger for design works and if i remembered he scammed it so please if anyone offers such a stupid ridiculous program do not get tricked! Just ignore them! Ive received this msg a few ago too regarding the cheat software and he is a customer of mine who scammed with the hyip "stallionventures". I believe its the same guy as singelton as its the same sentence posted by mafaltii
I tell you this guy cant get enough of scamming hes aka freshmeat_111 or josh singelton as wat mafalti said. And also i would like to add he is danile donson who scammed with stallionventure and aalsmerfund. Freshmeat_111 was the nick used when he approached me regarding aalsmerfund designs.

Yes hummi, you are completely right. Ah, the scammer Josh Singelton (freshmeat_111) is online now, I still have him in my YM and I check he is online everyday, so is necessary that people continue taking much care of their information, mainly egold one. There are too many scammers arround there, so be aware and always think a lot before do touch in what u dont know.
I also suggest that if some of this scammers come to you to scam ask him his mmg id, then ask him to PM you, so you report him to mmg and send to MMG Staff the screens of the conversation too.
