Due to congestion in all AOL! Mail user accounts, there shall be a removal exercise of all used and unused AOL Accounts. AOL! Inc would be shutting down several accounts.
You will have to confirm your account. So you are required to logon to your Online AOL Account with the provided link below.
Do you really think AOL are going to close down accounts?
Of course it is a scam.
btw If you "hover" the mouse over the link above in your email and then look at the bottom of the email you will see the REAL web address it will go to, and it wont be AOL
In all likelihood yes, if in doubt contact AOL yourself. I have an old AOL email address that I never use, I just logged in and there are 100's of unread messages going back about a year, if they were trying to get rid of mail users, I'm sure I'd be first in the hitlst.
With these sorts of thing you can always put your mind at rest by ignoring all the links someone has sent you in the e-mail and going to your account as you normally would. I've had warnings about lack of use before now, from accounts I use rarely.
I've had messages from o2, and all the main Banks and Building societies telling me my account will be closed if I don't confirm the logon for their renewed security. I've ignored them all, but I did worry about the o2 user one but nothing has happened anyway.
