For those that use ICQ I thought I would pass on a little information that I received from a newsgroup I use. It seems there is one or more people trying to get users ICQ number and Passwords. Below is the letter that is being sent out.

Dear ICQ user,

The ICQ Inc. is refreshing its databases to delete the inactive accounts. Please fill in your ICQ# and your Password and then submit this form by clicking the Send button. This is everything that you have to do to keep your account active. Don't reply to this mail. After your submission you will be forwarded to our homepage and will be able to read the latest news about ICQ Inc. Unless you confirm us that you are using your ICQ legally by filling the empty spaces, you won't be able to use your ICQ account after our refreshing is over.

With best regards ICQ Inc.

Please be aware of this as ICQ will not ask for your password.

my opinion is anyone stupid enough to fall for something like that deserves what happens to them because A-L-L Instant Messengers and computer generated things like that tell you they will NEVER ask for your password. Not to mention there's no such group as ICQ Inc. because ICQ was started by Marblils and bought out in late 99 by AOL which merged w/ Time Warner Cable later in 2000. Not to mention they have a rumors page where anyone can check current rumors and stuff. So I stick w/ my opinion that anyone stupid enough to fall for that deserves what they get.
