Borrowing My Aol Account?
8/23/2005 10:15:50 PM
HI everyone. Do you read all your emails? Today I remebered a situation, that got my ISP closed down, for a short time. I was going thru my emails as usual,when I came across an email that looked ok, SO I cliked the link to see the business opportunity. What I got was shut down! For a week I could not figure out what was wrong with my Aol. So I finally called them. They proceeded to tell me I had 4 screen names, I told them I did not, or wasn't suppose to have. In the course of our extended conversation, we figured out the last email that was sent to me. We also figured out, what had happened! When I opened that email, it automatically sent the sender, my password to my Aol account. They logged in and set up new Screen Names and Started Spamming people, I had over 25,000 emails go out these accounts. Now I change my passwords frequently, and that is My Advice to you as well. Especially if you have a questionable email! This was my first experiance with the Identity Theft, I had almost forgotten. Please be careful when looking at your emails. They may just borrow your account! Stay Safe!

Thanks Tiffany, It seem like all these emails have the same theme. That is too get you to give out your Banking information. I hope no one falls for that stuff. The one I opened, actually had a business web page. It was just a simple business ad, You know the one's we get everyday! It is a Shame what they will do. Thanks for Stopping in :)
