Another AOL member wrote to me that the following ad was the device used to
steal his password. I had the same experience when my password was stolen.
AOL has verified that this advertisement is not from them. When I clicked on
it, it did not seem to go anywhere for a while and then went to an Angelfire
screen offering a free web page - which I simply clicked off because I am not
interested in that kind of service.

So here it is and let me know if you fell for this scam too:
AOL FREE FOR ONE MONTH We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our
technical staff. In our continuing effort to make AOL your premier internet
option, we are involved in ongoing updates to the system. We are offering
ONE FREE MONTH as our thank you for your patience.CLICK ONCE

(Do not CLICK ONCE above!!!) (Leads to what is called a "sniffer" program that
allows the hacker to steal your password without you typing it in.)
