Flashing IM (AOL) Hoax

      If you get a flashing IM, DO NOT reply or delete,
          but sign off immediately and re-sign on!
         Then change your password immediately.
           If you are unable to sign on, call AOL !!!
          The number is
         1-800-827-6364
          The Flashing IM is a password stealer.
         This has been confirmed by AOL.

         PLEASE FOWARD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!
 The above (of course) is a hoax; it contains the classic indication of a hoax, the request to "forward to everyone".  (Well, "forward" is misspelled but this is also typical.) I have no idea what the "IM" refers to.  I doubt that it's Integrity Master (it goes by the nickname "IM") this "IM" probably refers to an AOL "Instant Message"
