egold is a new method of online currency. You have to register with egold, then find a gold broker to purchase some gold from . Then you convert this gold to egold and spend it. The reciever then converts it back to their currency. Its a long process when you first set it up but they say its easier and faster once you get the hang of it.
I started to get set up but Im in Canada and it costs much more because there is the extra steps of conversion to USD and then a transfer cost.
Thats egold...not a scam.
Cant tell you if your potential supplier is a scam though without knowing their info.
