Weird Message from AOL?

Post by Stormbringer »

I've been checking my (web) email and they're sending me some weird 'urgent' message. Any one else that uses the service getting one of those?

$5 says they're being spoofed. What was the contents of the actual message? (don't forget to post header info)

I don't know about an urgent message, but I do know that I've tried using the aol.com site to email which is what I normally do and it won't let you in. It says you have either an invalid screenname or password. However if you go into aol then it works fine. Maybe it's something on thier end.

AOL urgent messages are color coded. They have a distinct look to them.....for example make a new screen name and you'll receive an official email from AOL and then you'll know what they look like.
