Dear AOL Member,

During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures, we have detected a slight error in your billing information.

This might be due to either of the following reasons:

1. A recent change in your personal information ( i.e.change of address).
2. Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due to an internal error within our processors.

Please update and verify your information by clicking the link below:

Re: hmmm AOL SCAM

Dont click any email that you get in an email.

Instead... either enter in the web address yourself (use the master domain... like www.aol.com.... not www.aol.com/dfgdgh/shdghkd or whatever came in the email).


Besides with AOL... dont you update your personal information using the actual program and not through the web?


There are so many scams like this. I'd be rich if i had a dollar for every one that existed.

Re: hmmm AOL SCAM

Im thinking DEFIENTLY a scam. The aol account is in my moms name. AIM is in mine

Re: hmmm AOL SCAM

I would stay away.

I have not had AOL in a while- I would think the only really relelvant and important address would be the one on file with the CC co since that is how AOL is paid (or the addy with the checking acct, if that's how you pay.)

Re: hmmm AOL SCAM

Kristin, I wouldnt give them any info. If anything I would call the 800 number and ask them if they sent an email regarding your account, if it is fraud maybe they need to know about it too. GL!
