And check the form tag's action attribute.  These fraud attempts are
getting sneaky--the last one I received used genuine www.e-gold.com
links throughout but had:

    <form method="post"  name="f" action="http://www.e-gold.com@%72%6f%6e%61%6c%64%31%31%32%2e%68%79%70%65%72%6d%61%72%74%2e%6e%65%74/%69%6e%64%65%78%2e%70%68%70">

If you decode the URL-encoded gubbish you see that it doesn't really
go to e-gold at all (but rather ronald112.hypermart.net in this case).
