All you AOL folks;

I just received an email containing the following;

Thank you for choosing America Online. Unfortunately there
has been a problem processing your billing information for the
month of November, 2006.

Please review our billing requirements at KW: Billing. You will
be able to update your billing information quickly and easily
using our secure server web form. Please understand that this is
a security measure intended to help protect update you and your
account. Without promptly updating your billing information,
your America Online Internet service may be discontinued.
To update your billing at this time, please visit our secure
server web form by clicking the hyperlink below America	.	.	.	.

TRUST ME ON THIS, THIS IS A SCAM  don't even try the links or other wise
respond to it if you have received this email.

I note that there are no warnings on AOL web pages concerning this and no
way for a non member to report it, I assume AOL in their own minds are
secure from such things since they don't allow "thier" users to be bothered
by spam.

I think that is a little short sigted of them and would appreciate it if one
of you members would point this out to them, not everybody who is on AOL is
solely accessing the internet that way.
