Getting spam emails in your AOL email account can be frustrating. Here are some steps you can take to reduce and manage spam:
1. Use AOL's Built-in Spam Filters:
AOL has built-in spam filters that automatically move suspected spam emails to the Spam folder. Make sure your spam filter settings are enabled and properly configured.
2. Mark Spam Emails:
When you receive spam emails, mark them as spam in your inbox. This helps AOL's filters learn and improve over time.
3. Avoid Clicking Links:
Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from unknown or suspicious senders, as they might lead to phishing attempts or malware.
4. Don't Respond or Unsubscribe:
Do not respond to spam emails or click on "unsubscribe" links in them. These actions can confirm to spammers that your email address is active.
5. Check Sender's Address:
Check the sender's email address. If it looks suspicious or unfamiliar, don't open the email or click on any links.
