Notes
Password and screen name can sign on to your account. No one from America Online will ever ask you for your password (or your credit card number). You should never reveal your password to anyone.
Use different passwords for each screen name on your account.
Never download files attached to e-mail from someone you don't know. These files may contain "Trojan Horse" programs that can give your password to scam artists without your knowledge.
You should change your password frequently.
Report all e-mail password solicitations by clicking Forward and sending the e-mail to screen name TOS Reports. Report other password solicitations -- via Instant Messages, for example -- at Keyword: Notify AOL.

If you are tricked into revealing your password
Online scam artists can succeed in tricking even the most seasoned cyber-veteran. Immediately change your password. Before you sign off, change your password for your screen name. Also change the passwords for any other screen names on your account.
If you downloaded a suspicious file and think you may have a Trojan Horse program, call AOL Customer Service immediately at 1-888-265-6304
