AOL E-Mail scam

Recommended Posts

This is an old scam but I feel I should mention it in case even one person should be fooled by it.

 

AOL members are sent the following e-mail:

 

Dear AOL Member,

 

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but the billing type on your credit card is no long valid with America Online. 

 

    In order to enjoy your America Online experience and keep your account active, you MUST enter new, *Valid* credit card information within 24 hours of receiving this e-mail.

 

    To enter new credit card information and keep your account active, Please Click Here.

 

Our Regards,

Don Soluna

America Online Billing Department and Staff

 

When the provided link is clicked it leads to a webpage with a web address at hometown.aol. This is a bogus e-mail, do not provide ANY information on that website. Forward that e-mail directly to AOL at TOSSPAM@AOL.COM

I recently received a similar warning about this type of scam from TPTB at earthlink.net. Seems that this scam is being widely run.
