DO NOT OPEN ANY MAIL FROM BILLING @AOL.COM It is a PW (password) stealer....
..... I called AOL and they are aware of it but they say there is nothing
they can do yet. It does not have an attached file. The Billing name has
been cloned. It is actually from: Biiiing@AOL.COM. If you have any doubts...
call AOL at 1-800-827-6364.
Please call before opening your E mail if it is from Billing Dept.
