  Old  Beware of Paypal Phisher...

Okay, I had someone by the username of Rav register on my site and make a post saying he wanted to donate some money for advertising to my site. So I gave him my paypal email in which he requested, then he sent me a private message wanting me to log in to my aol at a non-aol site. The phishing site is http://aolscreenname.ulmb.com/. For those of you that own an forums out there, I would search the following ip ( 67.34.112.140 ) and ban him if he does exist on your website. Just a heads up

Why would you log into AOL from a link he gives you. You've got to be a real fool to fall for something like that, heh.
