Hi Listers sending to all related lists there is someone out there using
AOL addresses sending out a message that says second notice your federal tax
payment has been rejected. I have gotten over 70 or 80 or more of the
bounce back messages and as I type this I hear clicks saying more have come
in. This is the second time in recent months this crap has happened. The
way the program goes out is the sender adds a name to the send too field to
get around the automatic lokcout by AOL When AOL detects electronicly
generated messages trying to send out many at once the AOL system trips a security
measure that scrambles all user names on an account and all passwords.
This sender is getting around that by adding a proper name first and last
something like John Dough _ _kenlawrence124 at aol.com_
(mailto:kenlawrence124 at aol.com) and when these messages bounce I get them. It is obvious Phishing
so if you are an AOL user, you might reset your password and security
question. Thanks, Ken.
