Recent E-mail About Suspension???

I received an e-mail from AOL Member Services stating that you needed an update of my records, this included needing my credit card information.  It states that "failure to verify your records will result in account suspension."  I have free service and there is no phone #'s to contact anyone on these e-mails.  Please verify that this is not a fraud...

This is absolutely a fraud.

NEVER click on any link on that kind of email.

If you still unsure, go to aol.com and access to your account. Then you can edit your credit card information (if you have AOL account and pay for it monthly).

If you have AOL as free service and never pay for it, disregard that email, report it as spam.

In the future, if you are not sure about email that have similar content, contact their customer service. They can tell you or transfer you to correct department that can help you with.

Hope this help :)
