Re: [abcusers] Important Notice about keeping your ICQ account active.
Thanks for all the responses. That's what it seemed like, but I didn't want to delete it before finding out. Thanks. Now, to delete the email. I really dislike AOL anyway. :-)) Rick John Chambers wrote: > It looks like spam to me.

It's really nasty business if *they* are beginning to spam mailgroups... It's probably some other company trying to abuse a well known internet brand.

Re: [abcusers] Important Notice about keeping your ICQ account active.
It looks like spam to me. ICQ.com is a real company with a web site, so you can check it out. Probably what they're doing is trying to trick people into signing up for their service. If you make the mistake of thinking that this has something to do with abcusers, and send back the form, you will be a "member" of ICQ.com's service. That's probably fine, if you want to be a member. But it's a rather underhanded way of getting people to sign up. | Does anyone know what this is about?
