1. AOL E-Mail Attack Ad From Abner James Hacks my MacBook Pro

   This is the text of FEEDBACK which I gave to AOL today, 07 APR 2026:

   When I checked SPAM on my tap.h***@verizon.net account today I saw a possible interesting item at the top of the list. It was FROM: Abner James SUBJECT: Ad Maryland: 55+ ....

   Clicking on the Subject brought up about 20 tiny warning windows followed by a screen which had about 5 windows purporting to be from Apple Security claiming that "Access to this Mac PC has been temporally suspended." I was to call Apple at +1 (844) 681-5838 for manual verification to unlock the PC.

   My M4 Max MacBook Pro 16" running macOS Tahoe 26.4 was locked up. I could not even move the cursor.

   I called Apple Care and it informed me that the +1 (844) 681-5838 was not for Apple. I was then able to use ESC to reduce the size of the frozen window, then close that window.

   I then tried to remove that problem Ad which was in my AOL SPAM folder and the the same problem occurred. This happened for both ways of trying to delete the Ad.

   *** At that point I called AOL and selected Tech Support. ***

   The first call to tech support failed after a few minutes of dialog.

   The second call was answered by Charlotte ??? and she handled my problem. She passed it to a technician who determined that my tap.h***@verizon.net AOL account had been hacked. She walked me through resetting my password. She said that she'd clear some things too.

   I then deleted the 8 or so regular messages in SPAM and after deleting the final one the problem Ad disappeared from SPAM.

   At that time we thought that the matter was resolved, so we ended the call.

   *** Subsequent log-in to this account & Problem Detection ***

   After logging in to this account I checked SPAM and saw that it was empty. I then looked at my INBOX and saw the following as the most recent entry in in INBOX:

    Abner James         Ad   Laurel: New Food Benefit for Seniors
   

   This variant of the same problem "Ad" was still at the top of the list in my INBOX. I'm quite sure that If I try to Open or to Delete this "Ad" I'll enable the same HACK an my MacBook Pro-16 will be frozen again.

   *** I've seen that the Subject Field Entry changes to a variety of things all referring to food benefits for Seniors in Maryland and/of Laurel. I live in Laurel, MD.***

   I'm using Firefox 149.0.2

   A quick SCAN by Trend Micro just completed with 0 Threats found.
   
   I'm running a Full Scan now.

   I will not click on that "Ad."

   *** Another Call to AOL Tech Support ***

   Red had technician check and determined that everything looked fine on my AOL Account.

   The AOL Help Personnel had no way to delete the problem add. I was advised to report the problem here.

   ---

   PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS THING. PLEASE DELETE IT IF YOU CAN.

   I would appreciate Feedback on the resolution.

   P.S. I have a screenshot of the frozen page which results from clicking on the add from AOL. I also have a video of the circus which transpires for a few seconds if the add is touched. I can submit them to AOL is requested.

4. Give tech support the tools to fix problems. All they do is say how sorry they are and they can't help,

   EVERY Comment, Reply to a comment, and Appeal that I make is Rejected. Appeals are rejected INSTANTANEOUSLY, so obviously they are not considered at all. I have NOT used ANY offensive language.

5. Pop-up notifications no longer available when someone "likes" or "replies" to your Comment

   Have already spoken to Tech Support about this issue; but was informed they don't have the capability of correcting this issue. It would have to be submitted on this Feedback feature. These pop-ups help by allowing you to go to notifications and read replies or see "likes" to your comments. Although the Bell Notification feature works, the pop-ups assist users during real time activities.

   If other customers don't care for this feature, it would behoove AOL's IT gurus to provide an option to toggle the pop-up feature on and off.

7. Out of Control Spam

   AOL your spam controls are totally broken. I mean, really? They literally don't work at all. There are obscene emails in there that would get these spammers arrested. There is a flood of nonsense baiting with products.

   Come on AOL do better. It's not rocket science to figure out who sends this **** - try putting their "domain" into WHOIS.com/WHOIS.

11. **** non-stop

    Since AOL doesn't give any help in cleaning out **** emails in SPAM – it's not possible to click on one to stop sending them – I'm going to move all my emails to gmail.com. I've never encountered a **** email on gmail.com. They just keep coming, in fact they're increasing in daily number. When I finally bite the dust, someone in my family could possibly find them on my AOL account and wonder, "WHAT was Dad/Grandpa/Great Grandpa into!" What a legacy that'll be. So... so long to AOL.

13. What's with all the Woke stuff?

    How about some balance? Enough with the 'Woke' articles - I suspect that about half of your customers are conservative and you owe them an equal platform - I've been on AOL for decades but I'm considering another email platform if you don't correct this

15. Don't reject an appeal out of hand 60 seconds after submission.

    Appeals have become meaningless, especially when the comment addressed is totally without fault.
