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://bill.aol.com/myaccount.adp".

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

"During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures, we have detected an error with your payment information. "

Dear AOL Member,

During our regularly scheduled account maintenance and verification procedures, we have detected an error with your payment 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. Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
3. An inability to accurately verify your selected option of subscription due to an internal error within our processors.

You can access America Online`s secure, self-service Billing Center by going to AOL Keyword: My Account. Here you can review and modify your AOL account information online, anytime.

For accurate response go to: https://bill.aol.com/myaccount.adp

If your payment information is not updated within 48 hours then your ability to use your AOL account will become restricted.

Please Remember: AOL Staff will never ask you for your password. Never give out your password or billing information to anyone online.

Sincerely,
Member Services
AOL, LLC.
