Here's what I got in the mail today from some Chinese tool at www.woogg.net:
Dear custmer , Due to the large fraud activity monitored in 2007 and many custmers registerd screen names with fake information and so fraud billing information,AOL is taking an action against those activity through new billing system co-operating with members bank issuers. this message has been sent to all AOL members to go through this checking if you still want your screen name
Yes, I still need my screen name please keep me registerd [link omitted]
No, iam not pleased with AOL service and i am not in need for my screen name any more . [link omitted]
Once the process is complete, you will then be able to keep your current AOL Network Screen Name to access AOL Web products, including AIM and the new AIM Mail.
As a security precaution you will not be able to obtain or change your password or update your e-mail address until you confirm your proccess. Upon confirmation you will receive a welcome message with helpful information.

What a tool. Does anyone really think they need to give their banking, motor vehicle, employment, spousal and other private information just to maintain a free email account, especially when the demand come via an email that makes a spelling or grammatical error at least every other sentence?
