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.

AOL. Starting 2 months ago. Your email system started spamming my inbox with junk mail that you are not filtering out. Litterally my inbox is full of junk everyday. I would say it wasn't your fault, but at roughly the same time you started filtering out my email from trusted sources like family. What's going on? Fix your spam filter please.

I spend a good 15-20 minutes getting rid of all the spam in my inbox. And just this morning, I found a piece of spam that was spoofing one of my newsletters.

You REALLY need to do something about the plague of spam. Here's a place to start: block all messages from any email address that starts with "renter."

Don't let sex spam to be delivered at all. It is disgusting! Used to be able to block words, which helped. As you charge for upgraded services, I expect upgraded services, not gutter spam.

I am getting swamped with spam. I Block the Contact but they still get through? How is that happening? Is this to make me pay for a better filter?

Could you make some kind of defense from spam

it would help if we could use "universal" characters when blocking spam and unwanted emails; for example:
sam.?.*@*.com
Sometimes spam mailers change one or two characters in their email address to avoid blocking. -

I have received 2 different phishing emails. Maybe you could recognize them as not authentic & put them in Spam

Have a simple way to report phishing attempts or spam, other than trying to sift through your system, only to find it doesn't exist.

Will you please do something about your SPAM. I am so tired of going through the Spam folder to make sure legitimate emails aren't in there (which happens a lot) AND I AM TIRED OF SEEING PORNOGRAPHIC EMAIL BAITING. Next stop just might be the Attorney General's office.

AOL can stop the spam if you use a good spam blocker software. No one is managing the amout of spam users are receiving. AOL MUST STOP IT!!

I am totally dissatisfied with how AOL is handling (OR, NOT REALLY HANDLING !!) the spam issue, spme of which is sexually expletive.
There should be a quick way of blocking these people without having to open a message that you really do not want to open and copy the sender's email address to add it to the to-be-blocked list. I should be able to pick a simple BLOCK option that should work forever...If not, I am considering changing to Gmal or Yahoo after paying AOIL for almost 20+ years for this kind of uncaring service.
