HEY I received several from AOL..supposedly and I trashed them....Of course AOL did not send them, but just for those of you who have not seen them..they were using the AOL logo on the ones I have recieved. and I would not have been able to distinguish between  logos visually..BUT I AM AWARE THAT IS NOT POLICY OF AOL OR ANY OTHER LEGITIMATE EMAIL CARRIERS ETC..LIKE Don_1 said... The info they ask for would simply just give them cart Blanche access into your accounts, and security information and much more.... Thank you Don_1
