A new text message scam has been making its way around the country. People have reported receiving messages saying: [Name], we came across a parcel/package from [a recent month] pending for you.
Phishing scams happen when you receive an email that looks like it came from a company you trust (like AOL), but is ultimately from a hacker trying to get your information. All legitimate AOL Mail will be marked as either Certified Mail , if its an official marketing email, or Official Mail , if it's an important account email.
• Don't use internet search engines to find AOL contact info, as they may lead you to malicious websites and support scams. Always go directly to AOL Help Central for legitimate AOL customer support. • Never click suspicious-looking links. Hover over hyperlinks with your cursor to preview the destination URL.
Do not respond, even if the message requests that you "text STOP" to end messages. Delete all suspicious texts. Make sure your smart device OS and security apps are updated to the latest version.

When you mark a message from a mailing list as spam, and we trust the sender, you'll be given the option to unsubscribe rather than marking it as spam. Select Unsubscribe and you will no longer receive any messages from the mailing list. Selecting Report as spam will mark the message as spam and move it into the spam folder.

One way we do this is by protecting against phishing and scam emails though the use of AOL Official Mail. When we send you important emails, we'll mark the message with a small AOL icon beside the sender name. When you open the message, you'll see the "Official Mail" banner above the details of the message.
