Title: MtGox threatening to close my account - scam? Post by: bitbit on April 03, 2013, 02:26:17 PM I received the following email:
Dear User, We stated when you registered an account with us that accessing your account via the Tor network and/or public proxies can lead to a temporary suspension of your account, and having to submit AML documents to us. You are recieving this e-mail because we suspect you of accessing your account via the Tor network and/or public proxies. To prevent your account from being suspended you are now required to verify your account you must do this from your home network, without the use of the Tor network and/or public proxies. Click here to begin the verification process. Best regards, Mt.Gox team info@mtgox.com Is it a scam? Title: Re: MtGox threatening to close my account - scam?

Remove the email What do you mean? There are no links there... Mt. Gox's site DOES say you can't access it from the Tor network and that they might take extra verification measures if you do try it. Have you been using Tor? If so, maybe it's legit (I don't use Tor so I've never seen what they do) In any case, as long as you go straight to mtgox.com and ensure it is a secure connection (green in the address bar) and don't click on links in an e-mail you should be fine.
