... it then goes on to give out a link which asks you for info, which of course allows the scammers access to your email autoresponder account.

This will obviously lead to serious abuse in the wrong hands.

I spoke to aweber about this and they confirmed that this is a serious phishing scam that is going on right now and to not click any of the links in the emails you get from 'aweber security department'

If in doubt, just contact aweber to let them know the content of an email you've got from someone claiming to be from aweber.

Thought I should post a warning about this as I think a lot of people are gonna fall for it.
