Message when I clicked on an ebay email:

After having my id stolen in ebay. I installed the ebay tool bar that has very good protection. I like that AOL found it but I don't think they should block access. They should give you a warning and let you play Russian Roulette.

I agree with Frank. It's good that AOL and others can identify sites like this but the decision to trust or not should be the users.
You have to be careful tho becausethere are a lot of places out there that are just trolling for info about you.
