If you get an IM from me (a great fanfare) that is just a tinyurl link, don't click it. It's a phishing scam powered by that stupid game.

If you did and played the game it links to, you will begin doing this to people too if you don't change your password. If you change your password, everything should be fine, so I shouldn't be doing it anymore, but jussssst in caaaase.

The game it links to is a copy of the REAL Aim Fight thing that AOL does, but the real one doesn't ask for your password.

I was dumb and did it, but I changed my password shortly afterwards so hopefully it'll be okay? None of my virus protections picked up anything anyway.

But if anyone get any from me, this is just a heads up.

That's the thing; I googled AIM Fight before I did it to check that it was legit, and lo and behold, it... was but wasn't. Hurrrr durrrr.

Yeah it looked just like an AOL thing and AIM usually prompts me for my password when I'm on their site, even if I'm logged into AIM so i didn't think much about it at all.

Crafty phishers these ones are.
