FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Melbourne, FL] -- Since its inception in 1996, e-gold has settled over 85 million payments and extended its customer base to more than 165 countries. It currently receives nearly one million visits to its website weekly and settles over $1 billion worth of payments annually. It provides a valuable service for many individuals and companies doing business online. E-gold usage offers significant advantages over credit cards. Besides the obvious advantages to merchants (reduced cost and instantaneous settlement with no risk of chargeback ), e-gold is not as subject to the risk of exposing personal information over the Internet (an identity theft risk), while still maintaining full identifying information as part of the record for every transaction.
e-gold is always vigilant to assist federal law enforcement in bringing criminals to justice. Regrettably, e-gold's work with the FBI, FTC, IRS, DEA, SEC, USPS, and other government agencies has gone widely unnoticed. The e-gold staff has participated in hundreds of investigations in support of law enforcement. In addition, e-gold maintains an active investigations staff using numerous automated system protocols to work proactively to identify and stop unwanted activity. e-gold's investigative capability has not only made it one of the poorest choices for illicit activity, but has directly provided extraordinary data that has lead to the identification, apprehension, and conviction of cyber criminals.
