I know aol isn’t as popular as it once was but I must say that most ( 95+%) of scam emails go directly into SPAM. A cursory look and a delete without opening is all it takes. I still get them but they don’t clutter up my email inbox. BTW if you want to see the SOB scammers get busted (and be entertained) go to YouTube and search “Scammer Payback”. A young hacker calling himself “Pierogy” and who speaks Hindi has been closing down scam call centers that prey on American consumers. Worth a look see. Hilarious what he does to them. Deleting their files, reversing their hacks, activating their cameras, taking control of their call center, intervening in their scam calls.
