AARP Renewal Scams

[brucegrnk]

I have recently been receiving repetitive emails that look like they are from AARP. They tell me it is time to renew my membership. I want AARP to let members know to check the email of the sender. The email of these fake/scam emails are always different, and they are obviously not from AARP.
Maybe AARP should include warnings about these in their monthly newsletter.

Thanks for sharing, @brucegrnk. In some cases, we work with third-party vendors to facilitate sweepstakes and reward notification. Any email address ending in @aarp.org belongs to the organization and these sender addresses are legitimate. You can check the status of your membership and expiration date directly from your online account, here's how: https://aarp.info/3z3KND3 Also, AARP Fraud Watch Network published an article about how to spot phishing scams: https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2019/phishing.html?cmp=SNO-LITHIUM---&socialid=134337432... They recommend to never click on a link or open an attachment unless you are certain the email comes from a trusted source. - Diana G.

I've been getting these same emails continuously for about a month now.  They always come from some weird email address and are addressed to not only me but other other addresses that don't look real.
