keep getting spam from "blocked" senders
I keep getting SPAM in my folder from @kellykat.com. I've blocked these emails multiple time, but still they come. I'm getting more and more SPAM in my inbox, which I move to SPAM. You always ask if I want to "unsubscribe." I never subscribed to these domains. They are just trying to get AOL to give them legitimate email addresses. Wise up!
Hi. We're sorry to hear you're receiving spam emails! We have some solutions for you, please refer to this article to learn how to best manage unwanted emails: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-spam-and-privacy We also added additional security features for AOL Mail: https://help.aol.com/articles/additional-security-features-in-aol-mail Moreover, the block feature is best used for people, not spam, since spammers can use spoofed accounts. This means, what you see and add to your blocked list might not be the actual sender address. If you need assistance, you can reach out to us at https://help.aol.com/contact/
Thank you!

The spammers have found that if they put brackets, or other types of symbols around their email, it bypasses the filters. They simply change symbols. The spams filters should block ALL emails with symbols used in the address.

AOL SPAM FILTERS ARE NOT WORKING-- GETTING REPEAT SPAM EVEN THOUGH FILTERS ARE CORRECTLY INPUT WITH TECHNICAL SUPPORT ASSISTANCE. SPAM FILTERS ARE CRITICAL SINCE VIRUSES AND MALWARE CAN GET THRU. MAKE THIS ISSUE A PRIORITY WITH AOL. TECH. SUPPORT DOES NOT KNOW THE ANSWER AND IF THEY CANNOT HELP-- THEN WHO CAN??

Quit playing around with the silly little pictures and colors. What we want is for you to block the emails that we ask you to block. I continue to receive two or more spam emails from several people I have identified and BLOCK SENDER. Focus on what's important - how about it?

I get numerous emails from (for example) "contact@xxxx.offers.com". They just change the xxxx word in each spam. Put in an option for * to cover all the emails from one place. "contact@*.offers.com"

Put back the "block sender" feature in you triple dot pull down menu. I am no longer able to block unwanted spam senders. I contacted the AOL help line and was told how I could still do it but the "ADD" button never activates so I can't add a new unwanted sender to my block list. Not good at all.

Important emails keep going into my spam folder! They are from contacts that I've been getting email from for YEARS - the contacts are in my Contacts List. I am missing important information. I keep marking them "not spam" and nothing has changed for a few weeks now. I am trying to be patient but I can't keep missing important stuff and checking my spam folder every time I check email.

Messages from frequent contacts continue to go into the spam folder even though I have marked every single one of them as "Not Spam". This is now a very large issue as I am missing important updates.
Even after marking as "not spam"; emails from the same recipient go into the spam folder.

The facility to highlight unwanted senders like SPAM e-mails has disappeared. To Block except for contacts is of no help as it is crucial to nominate those senders that are acceptable, and the option to Block certain unwanted senders has been dropped recently. WHY??

Sounds like you may have been hacked on a shopping site somewhere. I had that happen to me a couple years ago where someone hacked my Amazon account & hid fraudulent purchases in a flood of spam emails. Check for any purchases you didn't make & change your passwords.

The spam filter is not as effective as it used to be. For the past few days I've received emails that are clearly spam in my inbox several times a day (sometimes right after I had just marked one as spam) instead of them going to the spam folder like they should've. Fix the filter!

Too much spam is filtering through. I am paying for AOL because I was told AOL had more advanced filters.

You took away my blocker so I had to figure out how I could stop most if not all of the spammers. The one company which is a problem is Microsoft. They are the company for all the daily and ongoing sex related spammers in Des Moines, Iowa, Moses Lake, Washington and for a smaller spammer from Boydton, Virginia. I have written to abuse@microsoft.com every single day in January.

How to help stop spammers.
1) Go to the More dropdown in the email, view raw message and find originating IP on top of the screen
2) Do a google search for the IP number which will give you location and email address for reporting
3) Send the email to that address for reporting and to the FTC. (I did that for almost all the spam emails received through today.)
4) Do a PrtSc and copy it in your email.Here are the sex related email addresses which continue to arrive daily through 01 31 24. ALL ARE CONNECTED TO MICROSOFT.
1) I found the info I needed as stated above.
2) I sent ALL THE EMAILS to abuse@microsoft.com and to the FTC.
3) Almost all are equally from Des Moines, Iowa and Moses Lake, Washington and just a very few from Boydton, Virginia.SEX-RELATED SPAMMERS - I HAVE IP ADDRESSES AND LOCATIONS FOR ALL THESE SEX-RELATED SPAMMERS.
