Recently I started receiving a lot of spam, some are very nasty. How can I stop this?
Stop the spam.
Hi there,
While most spam should be caught by our Spam filters, occasionally some can slip through. If that does happen it's very important to mark the email as Spam. It lets our system learn that messages from a specific place are not good and helps us make AOL Mail even better at recognizing future spam emails. Additionally, you can create filters to send specific emails to Trash, on the webmail at mail.aol.com and they will work while on the app as well. Here's how to create filters: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-mail-settings

This is getting crazy that there are so many spam e-mails everyday! If AOL doesn’t care, then that’s fine, I’ll just migrate to a better e-mail provider.

Obvious spam emails keep showing up in my new mail and reporting them as Spam does nothing they are right back in the new mail. WHY?

I get 6-8 scam emails varying from winning something to getting money or an order needs for info. Your unsubscribe does not stop the fake emails. HELP

There’s no spam filter on my email. It never has anything in my junk mail folder. There’s only junk mail in it, when I put it in there. GMAIL and outlook actually filter the mail.

Why are so many spam emails getting in my inbox? They all used to go to spam folder and not anymore…have some everyday in inbox. Something has changed.

To many attacks with no apparent action to block. This is an common problem on most commercial e-mail providers. Since the scammers are getting more clever, there needs to be a better mechanism to block these attempts.
-
Michael Wodzinski commented
Allow flags for phishing attempts & take action (e.g. block e-mail addresses and forward to authorities)
-
Michael Wodzinski commented
To reduce spam, allow filter to spam by keyword (e.g. Camp Lejeune)

AOL is not doing enough to protect us online from scams, dangerous products and fake reviews and we’re #JustNotBuyingIt
AOL needs to take action to protect us online. The failure to prevent rude, illegal, fake and corrupt SPAM has gone on too long. Action to prevent it and protect us and our children needs to be taken now. For other AOL users reading this, I suggest we join together and take legal action if AOL continue to fail us by not preventing fraudulent SPAM at source.

Allow to filter spam by blocking part emails.
I get loads of spam from emails like:
120548689@addtocartnow-j6m64.co.uk
120548689@addtocartnow-01dm0.co.uk
120548689@addtocartnow-04d54.co.ukHundreds of them blocked.
I want to be able to have a filter to block/delete all emails with "@addtocartnow" or "120548689@addtocartnow" in the address.
Half of my spam filters 1000 addresses is already used up by emails like this, with this offender being about half of the already blocked emails.

We need to have an immediate Spam option when we get emails we don’t want,

These scam mass emails must stop.

Adri Sa commented
When is this company going to have basic privacy for personal accounts instead of treat them as PUBLIC. These mass shady emails need to stop. Do not respond with " we have spam" when an account gets this many in ONE HOUR is evident that AOL has a problem. These cannot be unsubscribed, replied to and quickly add themselves in the contacts section.
This is ONE hour worth.

Please stop letting through unfiltered spam and scam from the USA. I do not live there and I am sick and tired of having to clear it out several times a day.

SHARON PAQUIN commented
I now consider this harassment by these senders. I never subscribed to these or asked for any information from them. I can’t even delete them fast enough. It’s amazing how, nevermind WHY, these keep getting through, especially when most of them are from fake sites. And they keep multiplying and getting worse.

SHARON PAQUIN commented
My spam email is multiplying every day by the hundreds!! There are usually more than a few duplicates and also different varieties of the same ones every single day. All they do is change the wording or a few letters in the headings. Can you at least stop the spam email duplicates?!! How about stopping the same ones that come through as spam EVERY SINGLE DAY after the first month/week/few days?!! I have tried unsubscribing (when possible!), I tried replying, sending back emails…nothing works. Most are fake websites. They are listed as “unsafe sites” by my security engine. The worst right now are “Camp Lejeune” emails and have many different headings, which are fake. They are coming to my aol spam box and some being addressed to me using my old AIM.COM email, too. I am drowning in them!
