America Online Upgrade Warning
Circulating on the Internet is an e-mail message addressing an
America Online 4.0 Upgrade. You should never receive an AOL upgrade
via e-mail because according to America Online: "AOL does not
circulate ANYTHING to customers by way of e-mail with attached
files. All AOL software is distributed through keyworded download
areas on the service." The following is the e-mail message being
circulated: Attention Friends
Another scam on the lurch on the AOL net.... BEWARE !!!!!! If you
receive an e-mail that is titled "Fwd: America Online 4.0 Upgrade"
or has an attached file called "Setup40.exe" Do not download the
program it is NOT Aol 4.0 it is a program that will e-mail your
SCREEN NAME and your PASSWORD to two or more people during two
blackouts of your computer screen. DO NOT DOWNLOAD DELETE IT!!!
Please E-Mail this letter to as many people as possible to avoid
damage....thanks !!!
