Nance Asked:

Is this AOL Service Announcement validation of my account a scam?

Is this for real? I have tried to email AOL Customer Service but can't get an email address. When I clicked on the "click here" it comes up in German with no English translation.

Yes this is a phishing scam. If you check the email address that it was sent from it is not a legitimate AOL source.  The bad grammar and sentence structure made me suspicious so, I checked it out!

I have continued to also receive this message and it comes from this email address: AOL_Update sherigreen@mindspring.com.... Has anyone had any luck in getting a confirmed response from AOL? I haven't.
