Damn it. I was successfully phished by the oldest trick in the book via AIM.
Even though i started on computers during Zork, had one of the first accounts on one of the first BBS's in L.A., gave speeches in college about Mosiac and the WWW, IRC'd like crazy, read Wired, can quote Wargames, AND wear glasses, I feel for it hook line and sinker. :( I feel so level 1.
If you have me as an AIM friend, don't click on any links I may send you the next few weeks.
Wow. I haven't used AIM in years

That's kind of scary that someone like you could fall for it. What was the scam?

A friend of mine "sent" me a link to his aol photos that i had to log into. He was at a party over the weekend and I was interested in seeing the picks. Didn't think twice about looking closer at the link. I was just trying to remember my AOL password since I hadn't use it forever.
Just a reminder to always look at the website you are linked to before you put in any info.
IT 101
im still amazed how the oldest trick in the book got to you after 10 years of im experience.

It's not your fault you fell for it.The excitement at seeing party photos is unstoppable it's true.
It's like these celebrities who have 'nip slips' when not wearing bra's under shirts and stuff but it's not ....it's to do with innernette.
I haven't used my AIM in years too.
Maybe cos AOL are shit
