This sounds fair enough to me and very genuine, if he had emailed you to say you had won a 22b then maybe i would have been a bit suspicious. Congrats on your win.

If you phone up you will be told by the automated service that your billing method is about to or has expired. Have you had a new debit card within the last few months? Mine did this and it was correct.

It hasn't shown but there is a link that is very good too but AOL always without doubt refer to you by your name and the toll free number is american I use AOL europe.The form that you have to fill in asks for your credit card no.,PIN number and your AOL sreen name and PASSWORD.
AOL will never ask for this info.It's a pity I don't know how to post the link but it is the best I've ever had and will even link to AOL services.
SO BEWARE IT IS A SCAM.

How many people do you think will fall for this? Why would an ISP need your mother maiden name, your social security number, and your PIN number? Some fools out there will fill it all in. Have you sent the emails onto AOL's fraud department (I assume they have one)

Of course but that never stops these "people",they just use a different address and start again.
just keep your eyes open is the only way to beat them.
