Carbfreehitz bites the Dust
Here is and email from carbfreehitz Sad to say.
Important Update
CarbFreeHitz Is closing. This is due to 2 attacks on our e-gold account within 10 day's and slow paying programs. Also all the losses that we have had because of Studio Traffic, cashitz,surfwize,1poiont1, Ruh-Roh, 4Daily and on and on . After 15 months of losses and trying to rebuild the lose all the time there is no hope left out there after e-gold got done.
I know there are going to be a lot of upset members. I am truly sorry.
As we all know there are risks in these type of programs which are spelled out in the terms that you agreed to when you joined.
Refunds - Will be made as money is available from payments coming in from other programs that carbfreehitz has money in. this will happen as long as everyone waits. So Please do what you agreed to when you joined and I will do as much as possible to get your money returned to you. I will not be able to nothing if our accounts are froze that we pay people from and do not demand to be paid now it is not going to work that way. In order to protect the interest of all members and myself from losing I will be adding funds to programs that pay so over time everyone will get paid back. If we don't put nothing back in they will be where we are today closing. Our site did not get where it is in a few day's and it won't see day light in a few day either.
If there are any better Ideas to this please e-mail me as long as they are solid ideas. I will delete your accounts over hate mail so keep it to yourself. I hate myself enough over this whole thing believe me.
I just don't know what else to do. I guess I will have to figure it out as I go. Don't think there are any answers. Sorry if this letter is not written in good form. I am not good at this sort of thing.
Here is a copy of letter I just got from e-gold. And every time I have lost money it has been when e-gold is having problems.
You have a Trojan keylogger on your computer. We recommend you take all necessary steps to find and remove the Trojan. If you are using Internet Explorer as your browser, we recommend you install and use Firefox by Mozilla.
We believe you got the Trojan by visiting a particular website that has a malicious script running on their site. This script checks your computer for vulnerabilities and downloads malicious software.
There are Trojans keyloggers that monitors Internet Explorer windows until a user visits the e-gold login page: e-gold.com/acct/login.html. Once the user is logged in, the Trojan opens a hidden Internet Explorer window in which it accesses the user's account balance:
e-gold.com/acct/balance.asp.
After ascertaining the value of the user's account it attempts to transfer their funds to another account using the hidden window.
The two Trojans we are aware of are:
Win32.Grams.I - http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=41657
TROJ_GETEGOLD.C -
http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=TROJ_GETEGOLD.C
Most viruses are conveyed by spammed e-mail in the form of HTML messages.
The scripts run on viewing, no clicking on attachments is necessary.
They may also arrive as image attachments. Once the image is viewed, the program is executed. Either way, the system is now infected and is just waiting for you to check your e-gold account balance.
You can protect yourself by:
* Using another browser instead of Internet Explorer (IE). Firefox by Mozilla is an excellent choice. You can visit www.mozilla.org for more information.
* Do Not auto-preview incoming e-mail.
* Do Not open obvious spam.
* Do run a full virus scan regularly.
You may want to also specifically look for the following Trojan to see if it is installed on your computer: TROJ_BANKER.BS. Troj/Banker-AM is a Trojan that steals bank details. In order to run automatically on login the Trojan copies itself to the file svhost.exe in the Windows folder and adds the following registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Shell=C:\Windows\svhost.exe
Troj/Banker-AM installs itself as an Internet Explorer plugin in order to monitor the URLs visited by the user. When one of a specific set of banking-related URLs is visited, the Trojan logs all inputted details and submits them to the author using a PHP script on a preconfigured web site.
This Trojan installs a keylogger on affected machines. It monitors a user's Internet browser and verifies if the address bar contains any of the following strings:
. *abc517.net*
. *e-gold*
. *e-gold.com/acct/accountinfo.asp*
. *e-gold.com/acct/balance.asp*
. *e-gold.com/acct/login.html*
. https://www.e-gold.com/acct/accountinfo.asp
. https://www.e-gold.com/acct/balance.asp
Once it detects that affected users are browsing over the said sites, it starts logging keystrokes made by the said users. It eventually sends the logged keystrokes to a remote user. It runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
You may also want to visit http://www.lurhq.com/grams for information on Keyloggers that may be installed on your computer.
The owner of e-gold account #1314135 Pilot Holding LLC is not the person who compromised your account. The person who compromised your account used their services.
Regrettably we are unable to refund your money because e-gold transactions are not reversible. e-gold Ltd. (e-gold) is contractually prohibited from freezing e-gold accounts, releasing e-gold account records, or reversing e-gold spends in the absence of a court order or subpoena.
You might want to consider obtaining some combination of help from a legal professional or law enforcement to obtain a court order, if the size of your loss warrants expenditure of your resources (time and money) to resolve.
If you obtain a court order, in order to ensure you get all pertinent information please:
- Ask for e-gold account profile information for account #1314135
- Ask for transaction history information for account #1314135
- Ask for information on any other accounts owned or controlled by the individual
- Ask for Disposition of funds in questions "what account are the funds currently located, this is in case they have been moved around"
- If applicable, ask for stabilization of the funds in question "freezing of the account if the funds are still under the control of the perpetrator"
- Ask for account profile information for the account where the funds are currently located. This will be needed in case you have to subpoena the third party account owner.
This court order should be presented by fax (initially) and then with hard copy to:

Thank-you,
e-gold Service
We run scans and checked out all there links but found nothing on my computer. I can not prove there was nothing there either. The last time I got a e-mail telling me pass phase had been changed I called e-gold office and waited 90 min in middle of afternoon never did get them to answer phone. How dependable is e-gold. This letter I just received was from the first time account was hacked about 2 weeks ago. And as far as this letter goes it is just a form letter with a added info. I guess this letter say's it all this is why I have decided to close the site. The loses just have exceeded the money coming in and there is no hope. I am also posting a set of terms for those that have not read them.
