report malware
Do we have a way of reporting spam/malware to you (and then, hopefully, you do something about it)? For example, I've gotten two messages today, telling me that my email is going to be canclled or whatever, and these messages are apparently coming from other AOL accounts.

If a user is abusing our system to send mail, we’re definitely interested. Please mark these emails as spam, it will generate a report that goes to a team focused on such experiences can review and take the appropriate action. For security reasons, they’ll be limited in the information they can share back, however, we’re dedicated to ensuring our users don’t abuse our system, and the Community Action Team will act accordingly.

I have recently been receiving lots of SPAM. Most of them contain "onmicrosoft.com" in the domain name. I added a filter to move any items that contain "onmicrosoft.com" in the FROM field, and I am still getting these emails. I am disappointed that AOL is not catching these initially, and that the filters I am setting up are not working.

What is wrong with AOL?????? Why do 75% of my emails get sent to SPAM???? These are the SAME email addresses that I have been receiving email from for YEARS!!! It is impossible to get any information from AOL even by EMAIL supposedly you cannot email AOL because of Covid? Really??? But you can call a phone # if you pay for AOL service - who would pay for service that sucks?

Did you recently send an email asking AOL customers to update their email account by logging into **@verizon.net? The email stated that those who didn't update would no longer be able to login.

Please can you do something about the number of vulgar spam e-mails that come everyday. I blocked over 50 of them. The same vulgar message returns from a different address.

AOL user ***@aol.com is using their account to ****** other users in to revealing personal information by claiming AOL is changing their email policy. There has to be a better way to report this.

Is this for real, or is it someone trying to hack my AOL again?
Hi AOL Member,
We love that you love using AOL email. And we want to make sure you always have the best experience. That’s why we’re reaching out today.
We’ve noticed that you’re using non-AOL applications (such as third-party email, calendar, or contact applications) that may use a less secure sign-in method. To protect you and your data, AOL will no longer support the current sign-in functionality in your application starting on December 7, 2021. This means that you will need to take one of the steps below to continue using your AOL Mail without interruption.
But don’t worry, you have options:

Still getting mail not in my contacts except the ones I explicitly allow or want; like codes sent from other sites to verify identity. Just activate the Block All Senders Except Contacts. If you're not going to honor it, then remove it.

All of my spam seems to come from the domain "addto-cart.co.uk" why can't AOL block all this trash?

Keep trying to UNSUBSCRIBE from Lexington Law but it has a hidden character that does not show up when I copy & paste it into BLOCK. BLOCK filters do not seem to work well any longer. Is there a more direct way to nail a spamer?

I've seen that as much customers are complaining about the amount of spam mail we receives, so instead of not allowing them you just try to hide the icon. We've have never received so many spams before you bought out the verizon account. Then you only allow for 1000 items to be blocked. We as the consumer should get together and file a class action law suit against your company for the abuses you put us threw. Who's ready to join the suit????

It is really appalling how poorly AOL manages (fails to manage) SPAM within AOL accounts. Given how long AOL has been doing email, the only message this sends is that AOL really doesn't care about security and SPAM and the threat they and misinformation pose for their subscribers. I think it is time for me to look for a new email provider.

Not sure if messages to reset my password yesterday were from AOL. Message said it was from AOL and that my password would expire yesterday. I received 4 copies of the message. I found it suspect. Can you confirm that it was from you? Thanks

I do not know why I get so many SPAM messages on my e-mail account after I have already put that sender into my spam account. Also I do not understand why when I get a e-mail in my in-box and mark unsubscribe from that sender I get several more from them. I wonder why or if AOL is doing all it can to keep me safe from all the junk e-mails that are sent to me? If I mark a sender as SPAM then why would AOL send me more of their trash, can't AOL just block that sender from my account anymore? If there is a way AOL can help with this and I need to make a request please tell me how.
