If you get email that appears from ICQ about activation problems DONT do it!
I examined the email and it appears to be a hacker trap to get ICQ# and
passwords.
It contains copies of the ICQ website pages as a cover for its emailing
what you send to the hacker.

I have sent the page to ICQ and hope they will do something about
it(doubtful)
--------------it contains these lines for example-------------

input type=hidden name="recipient" value="hackedbyhunter_at_hotmail.com"
input type=hidden name="subject" value="SpyMasterSnake.Org ICQ Hack Verileri"
input type=hidden name="realname" value="SpyMasterSnake.Org"
input type=hidden name="redirect" value="http://www.icq.com/"
input type=hidden name="ok" value="ok3"
-------------------------------------------------------

I hope this help prevent anyone here from getting caught by it.
