Are you looking for a program that will produce spam across AOL or a program that gets rid of the spamming on AOL?

boofhead - if you find one I'd like to know!

Since signing up just before Xmas I have received over 100 mainly pornographic spammails in my AOL account. I had chosen a fairly simple screen name for my 100 hour 'trial' and that was probably allowing the spammers to 'generate' my AOL address fairly easily.

Having said that, I have only received perhaps 20-30 spams from all my other ISP's over many years.

Matters came to a head last month when my first name (which was not in my email address) was used in a (porno) spammail. The matter is now being investigated by the "Information Commissioner (IC) - Compliance" for what one would be forgiven for assuming was a leak of data from AOL. A serious matter! NO I did not go via 'Chat', nor 'Buddy', nor send any emails, nor give ANYONE my address.

I have now rejoined AOL with a more 'difficult to replicate' screen-name and await results!

I will keep this thread informed.
