" Dear xxx,
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your AOL® account from a
foreign IP address and we have reasons to belive that your account was hijacked
by a third party without your authorization. If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login attempts
may have been initiated by you. "
If you have received this email, please remember that it is very
common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly
different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different
provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common
place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first,
although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
