Addressed to Mail User
Got it, thank you!
This is clearly an attempt to scam you, please note that AOL will never ask you for your personal details via email, will not ask for any verification process, and will not remove access to your account.
Remember to mark the email as "spam" and do not open any links that contain.
The "Last Warning: Upgrade your email to avoid Shutting Down" is allegedly an automated email sent by an unspecified "email team". It states that several notifications have been received concerning the user's mail account. These fake alerts may have been generated due to the account lacking general maintenance and the latest updates.
