I used to roll up into aol chat rooms as a kid and get yelled at by retirees for being too young in the chat.
Hello, Valued AOL Customer!
I am an AOL customer service rep as you can see by my name A0L_Admin-253886. We are currently experiencing a data loss and require you to verify some account information. Within a timely manner, please provide your Credit Card Number, Security Code, and Expiration date in order to prevent an interruption to your AOL experience.
Always remember: AOL will never ask for your password over chat. So please watch out for those scams.
Thank you,

I fell for one of those as a kid and put in my mom's cc number. Remembered we had to cancel the card.
Oof. Friendly fire. My bad.😅
i used to wonder why anyone cared if there were any women in the chat rooms; it should have been the first clue that i wasn't straight. lol
