I don't use AIM...don't use anything to do with AOL and I never would again.
That's ever since I had the trouble with them giving out my cc # and information. One of their "other" companies illegally took funds out of my account (autovantage)
I had to go to a law firm to get it cleared up.
I got it cleard up, and funds returned...but, I found out what crooks AOL really are. You credit card is NOT safe with them at all. In fact, none of your information is safe with them. It's been proven over and over again, but people just don't believe or listen.
