Hi All,

I just received a spam message in html that had been made to look like it
was original sent from ICQ.com asking you to re-enter your username and
password to avoid deactivation of your account. Strangely however the link
took you to
http://www.hackerpowers.com/server.php?username=&password=&userid=5433&type=
3&redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.icq.com&missing_fields_redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww
.icq.com&RequestType=fakebox&send.x=39&send.y=12

I have reported this to abuse () aol com and abuse () icq com. Although because
this e-mail is likely to fool some users into thinking it is legitimate is
their anywhere else that this should be reported to.

Regards,

Justin
