My grandparent-in-laws use AOL, and they unfortunately fell for a scam. AOL is what they've always used for everything. When there was an upgrade for something AOL related it all stopped working, so they reached out to a support line.

Unfortunately this wasn't a legitimate support line. The person did fix their issue, but they also charged my grandparent-in-laws $250 for it.

They called me right after they paid the person, realizing their mistake immediately.
