e-mail help: I received a email from AOL asking that I provide all my personal - Help.com

I received a email from AOL asking that I provide all

my personal information/Credit Card Acct #/Social Security # and other data to confirm that my account is up to date. I checked my account info and it is all correct. Is this a scam by somebody to steal all my personal data or is this a legal update by AOL?

Are you looking for answers about problems with your AOL service?

I’d like to recommend that you ask AOL directly since they are best suited to help you.

For AOL support, you can visit the AOL support site or even call them at an AOL toll free number.

No you didn’t. AOL would never ask for your social security number. If you gave it to them you may have handed your identity to a crook.

I sometimes get bogus emails from Paypall. But it’s Paypall with two L’s at the end, and PayPal only has one. Someone sent you an email that LOOKS like an official AOL thing. I would report it on the AOL site.

Never trust an email that asks for personal information to be confirmed. Respectable companies do not operate in that way.

Contact AOL via their website and ask them to look into it.
