I clicked on one of these ads that popped up by accident and it was spam. Had to shut down my computer. Fix this!

SPAM ads are popping up in my email list. "3 Unread messages Heads UP your mailbox received something new" Listed as an Ad. So AOL now lets spammers pay to spam us? Here's another! " 3 unread messages A pending connection was logged to your profile today." They just keep poppin up with variants of those messages. Can't delete or mark as SPAM.

HEY AOL, FIX THE SPAM PROBLEM IN YOUR EMAIL SYSTEM!! Your system has allowed over 50 to 100 SPAM EMAILS per day into my SPAM Folder! Some of the SPAM EMAILS are highly offensive, e.g. from rodriguw@test.exclusiveeoffers.org Subject: Subject: 🥵 𝙄 𝙒𝘼𝙉𝙏 𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙏𝙊 𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆 𝙈𝙀 𝙃𝘼𝙍𝘿 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝘿𝙀𝙀𝙋 … 𝙄’𝙈 𝙎𝙊 𝙃𝙊𝙍𝙉𝙔💦𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙀 𝙁𝙐𝘾𝙆 𝙈𝙀 🥵. I do not have the time nor the patience to screen my SPAM Folder daily in order to block these and other offensive emails!

With today's technology, I am surprised that AOL has not taken steps to block these types of emails completely from your AOL System! TAKE ACTION NOW; I know that I am not the only person who feels this way and has this problem!!

I tried phone support, and was told my only option is to pay for ad-free, get a third party service, or submit my question/complaint in this forum. Thank you.

Ads are appearing within the list of emails in the inbox, as if the ad were itself an email. I can tolerate ads above and to the right of the inbox, but this is awful. Examples include Hillsdale College, Temu, Window Replacement, Rocket Mortgage, Wall Street Journal. Very disruptive to the work flow in my inbox. I can't figure how to delete or move them. Please advise how to correct this. Thank you.

Remove the irritating 'ads' that look like an email in the inbox. It was bad enough there was always one on top but now they are every 10 or so in the list! This is ridiculous! I used to admire AOL for their stand on free email with few ads, but now it's just poisoned. I put up with ads on the side, because it's a free service, but this is now too much.

I've started getting ads in my daily e-mail list that are in the middle or bottom of the list. I have one from 6/15 that is at the bottom of the list for that day and I can't get rid of it. It needs to be fixed.

Stop ads in e-mail in box. they are NOT e-mail!!!!!!!

you can take ai and shove it up you ***

so now you put ads in my private folders. you are total ********.

Please fix this problem asap. Thank you.

Please correct the unauthorized emails from Homes.com ad and Temu.com ad that suddenly appeared in my emails. I cannot delete them as their logos cover the delete box choice. Please take care of this immediately. Thank you

When a person pays to remove ads, then they get removed. Not pay to remove ads then have to sit on the phone with technical support to actually get them removed.

I literally get hundreds of spam a day. I have actually had to start a Gmail address to stop all the spam and one day be rid of AOL.....I never get any help......they say block them....when I block them it works and it goes directly to trash.....so now I have hundreds of messages in Trash DAILY....I want to never see them....AOL gives me zero relief on this......I get 8 messages every single day to fix my roof.....lmbo

GET RID OF THE ADS THAT ARE NOW APPEARING IN BETWEEN EVERY 5TH OR 6TH AOL EMAIL MESSAGE. AT THE TOP IS FINE THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THEY ARE IN THE WAY

Dear AOL, as of today 6/4/2026 my in-box is now receiving advertising banners in between my emails, AND, i CAN NOT DELETE , or, send to spam. this is not fair. This should not be occurring, please remove this ads that are occurring in my in-box.

The "sex **** emails can be sent to spam. They should be blocked immediately.

Blocking should be adjusted regularly since most of that SPAM is sent by 'people" that change their emails frequently. Finally, any email from a source that has a list of nonsense numbers and letter should automatically be blocked. Why should a legitimate user have to go through 100+ spam items daily to retrieve the few legitimate emails that may make it to spam by error.

About the blocked items in general. There is a limit on that list, which can be reached in less than two weeks, but can only be purged one by one, a task that could take hours.

When I have set up filters to prevent trashy sexual content, which I find offensive, and I still get many many of those emails even though the words in the filter appear in the subject of the email, I don't know why. Am I doing something wrong? Please let me know so that I can stop the offensive emails.
