The big problem is that there is no way for a user using AOL to know if the links are legit or not. When I point to a link in my regular browser (IE7), the browser pops up what the actual link is. This feature is sadly lacking at AOL.]]>Apr 26th 2007 10:31AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-3/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-3/Apr 27th 2007 10:05AMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-3/http://www.switched.com/2007/04/13/the-top-five-e-mail-scams-3/
In fact the comment that I am typing in requires that I give my password just to make a comment? The funny thing is that they don't request a password from a new user!

It seems that AOL is doing a very poor job of protecting us.
