OT but I got a suspicious e mail that was made to look like it came from AOL. It came from snipped-for-privacy@aol.com. It said that my billing information had been hacked and that I needed to go to a website to re-submit my information. I called AOL customer service, and they said that the e mail is not legit, and the phone number at the bottom is not actually the help number for AOL. The first clue that is was suspect is that AOL coorespondance usually comes in on my master screen name, and this one did not. (See e mail below) The part in the email where it says please click here goes to secureyourselfrightnow.com which is registered to someone in Greenwood Indiana.
