Don't fall for this scam. Someone sends you email saying you have an InstaKiss with a link to what looks like an official AOL page asking for your name and password. DON"T BE A DUMBASS LIKE ME AND FALL FOR IT.

I changed my password already, but its just sucks.

That happened to me. I had to call AOL and talk for like ten minutes to them to get a new password. It sucks majorly.

This is just like Gemstone. AOL says "AOL staff will NEVER ask for your password." Why do people still give out their password when they tell you they will never ask for it?

I'm usually wary of this shit. But this was clever. Here is the text of the email...

HEY WHATS UP..... hahaha... i'm just a little tipsy right now, but that's ok.. I bet you'll NEVER guess who this is. :-) But that's ok.. you were always a little slow ;-) Anyway.... CLICK HERE to see.. you have one guess... xoxoxo

The CLICK HERE was an imbeded link. With AOL's browser, you can't see where that link goes. Here is the URL... http://members.aol.com/bmacjr11/

An elaborate set up. Props for that. All the links work, it looks official. Its because AOL's browser dosen't display the URL that I fell for this.

Its been reported and I've changed my close to ten year old pasword I've used for EVERYTHING>

Before you click on a hyperlink, keep your cursor over the link but don't click on it. A second later the full URL will pop-up right over it telling you where that hyperlink will send you.

I usually go ahead and type in my screen name on things like that and then type "Fuck you" for my password. I hate people that do this lame stuff.
