Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at AOL by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • AOL never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.aol.com/fq/ac=AwMrPC2WBEOJZn6uS3vf sgZY-mU9hMM2JwjkkBK5DJXZ-xfsIfddmzj9NA WAUQZaqRUC20pbpMaEzw&t=pr".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website has been chosen to look very similar to the actual AOL URL. Do not be fooled!
