There is a link that takes you here! http://baumerfoods.com/products/imag...bill_form.html

yup... its phishing... AOL will notify you upon login... not via email...

+1 They don't send emails.
The link says it all - how's Baumerfoods related to AOL? Without question phishing. I get almost the same email from "PayPal" and "(Insert 2nd vowel in the alphabet here)BAY" routinely.

 

[miaheatlvr]

Yes but the the tabs on the info page take you to the ORIGINAL AOL im assuming.

 

[uneverno]

Or a really good facsimile of AOL's homepage. Not hard to copy using the "view source" function in HTML, from which point they monitor your keystrokes to get your password(s).

With all that info they could wipe you out.You might as well just send them a signed blank check.
Ive never been asked for checking/savings account #'s and routing#,DL# ,SS#,Credit Card # plus security code..........from anyone online via email or anywhere else ,unless i was buying something online.And even then i still wasnt required to give so much info.

What I think is funny is when I get something from my bank and it has the logos and everything but when you look to see who it was from it says something like, bubbabla.green@gmail.com or something like that

 

[kjr_trig]

I would say yes for sure...I had a similar one imitating Paypal that fooled me a bit a while back.

Phishing, 100% for sure.
Online services almost never communicate this way. Most companies now have standing polices against it so as to never cause confusion among customers as to the legitimacy of the messages. However, when companies do use email to communicate, you should always look for personally identifying information in the email. If the email refers to you by name or some other piece of information, it's more likely to be legitimate. FYI... your email address is NOT a piece of personally identifying information. The software they use to send out these phishing emails usually takes the first part of your email address and slaps it into the "Dear" field.
If you are worried enough to cause yourself to want to click, don't. Open a new web browser, type the name of the site into the address bar yourself, find a phone number, and call them.
