Fake AOL Notification

Here’s a fun one that looks like a notification about something at AOL. What’s tricky about this one is that it uses a mixture of a real AOL graphic, real AOL links, a spoofed real-looking AOL email address, and one doozy of a bad link–takes you off to a bogus Viagra sales site. Don’t click the link in this email: note what shows up when you hover your mouse over the main link!

Have an AOL account? Think it might really have a notification? Don’t click the link; go to the AOL site and log in to look for the notification. And this email message? Just delete it.
