Hello all.
This nasty little phishing email, with the added bonus of a virus arrived a few days ago.
It was in our SPAM Box, but it had this message at the top of the email.
---------------------------------------------
This message is in your Spam Folder because you are blocking mail with clickable hyperlinks (URLS).
---------------------------------------------
Now, anyone new to using the Internet, who has set up their inbox to reject any possible virus infected emails with attachments or clickable hyperlinks, might well get caught by this simple little message.
If you have this in your SPAM box & you are an AOL subscriber, send it or any other suspicious emails you may receive, specially the Nigerian scam mails to,
tosreports@aol.com
Anyhow, below is the contents of the supposed email from AOL billing/member services.
