Dear friends,
If you receive an email such as the one following this note do not answer it. The only proper response: DELETE.

Yahoo and AOL account holders also receive email attempting such trickery to get their information. Sometimes it is hard to know what is real and what is not, but SNOPES is one good source to check out these things. Another is simply to contact the ISP to ask. AOL is easier than the other two providers to get an answer from. Thanks for sharing the warning. I imagine a lot of people get fooled.
