Last Warning

my wifes email account has received a "warning" that her account will be closed if she doesn't reply via a listed website. I don't think this is from AOL.  Help?? I called one of the numbers for support and got India, my last experience with them was a high pressure sales pitch to buy an anti-virus. I just want to know if this is a legimate aol email. Thanks, Bob Scalze

It's a scam, ignore it. AOL doesn't warn you about anything. They either want you to click on a link or take you to a website that will install a virus or a key logger to track your activity. Delete it immediately without doing any other action.
