I had an e-gold account with few hundred dollars worth of gold in it and once I tried to log into it today it told me that password I am trying to use is incorrect.

Though, I am sure that my password is correct and was not changed. I use pop3 so I receive copies of all incoming messages to my computer immediately once they hit my mailbox and I am sure that I have not received any about my password or other account details being changed.

Could this be that e-gold started has changing users passwords who use e-gold for hyips instead of blocking or deleting their accounts? Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

yes, i experienced it.

I asked for the password and received it by airmail from australia i believe

heh, I believe I entered some random characters for my address.. ah, this was one stupid move.
