This is good news
by Seaspray0 February 28, 2006 8:23 AM PST: Congradulations to AOL for this action. I'm glad to see business step in to protect consumers against these bandits when the government fails to take action. This will not only benefit AOL users, but all users who have been duped by these scams.; Like this Reply to this comment

by wbenton March 2, 2006 7:27 AM PST: If every Phished and/or Spoofed company would do the same... Phishing and Spoofing wouldn't be as profitable!!!

We need all those whom have been phished or spoofed in the past to stand up and do the same!
