What are 800 and 888 phone number scams?
Instead of asking for your password or credit card number directly, a scammer may give you an 800 or 888 number and PIN number (for a pager or similar service). When you get through and enter the PIN number, the voice recording sounds very official, saying it is AOL and asking you to reveal your password and/or credit card number. Although it sounds legitimate, it is not. Please remember that AOL will never ask for your information in such a manner.
