Phishing email that appears to come from AARP
Beware! I received an email supposedly coming from AARP with the subject line "Go on your very own AARP Spree! Details Inside!" but it is a scam. The actual email address is "promo@promotions.fragranceoutlet.com" and has nothing to do with AARP.

Found this info on contact us link, but when I tried to forward the email, the message was detected as spam and wouldn't send.
Report suspected phishing or fraud
AARP will never call or email you for credit card information to process refunds or to look up account information. If you received a phishing email from a suspected AARP impostor, please report it by forwarding the message to spoof@aarp.org. If you want to report any other phishing attempts or need help with other types of fraud or scams, please call the AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline at 1-877-908-3360.

Why doesn't AARP Fraud Watch have an e-mail address I can easily forward a phishing e-mail to? This is frustrating ! I don't want to call a help line....just forward it and let them deal with it like I do with PayPal, Chase, and all the other phishing e-mails I get.

Hello, @NancyR461885. From what I have gathered from @AARPJanelleM's past posts regarding these spam, scam, phishing, or fraud emails -- she has referred concerned members/non-members here (to report their most recent spams/scams/frauds): MONEY Scams & Fraud | MONEY SCAMS & FRAUD About AARP Fraud Watch Network | SCAMS & FRAUD AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline.
You can also just call the, 'AARP Fraud Watch Network Helpline' @ 1-877-908-3360 [toll-free service is available Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET] to share your experience(s) or concerns. Hopefully this will help! ๐

Thanks for responding. That's certainly a lot of work to login and go through all those screens.... if it were just one and rarely, fine. But it's frequent. Like @ronnego says, why not just give us a place to forward the phishing email. If AARP was serious about rooting them out, they would make it easy.

Phishing Email that almost got by me......
From: AARP Shopping Subject: Shipped! Your AARP Reward AARP Rew??rd Open Immedi??tely
When I roll my curser over the AARP Shopping = the real IP address is - ..-.....-..-....-.... @mi8.successplan.org.uk
Notes: I've received real Rewards from AARP many times before; and this one was "worded" differently/ un-usual. ๐ค
Once you roll your curser over the URL of where it came really came "From" = you can see if it's it real or a 'phish'/ fake' email. ๐ค
๐ Hopefully this can help others from being fooled.
Stay alert, folks.

On 8/15/23 I got aarp email "CLAIM YOUR HUNDERED DOLLAR AARP OFFER" complete the short survey about aarp membership to select you exclusive offer of up to $100.00 cash. This email came from g.yapimichel392@yapimichel392.coyoto.cfd. I do not believe this is from aarp, looks like scam email.. I did not claim my gift. Did you get this email? Bill

Thank you for bringing these scam emails to light. I've always wondered that if you are tied in with AARP, you know just by signing up, how anyone else would know that you were with AARP? That is unless the root culprit IS actually AARP.
Who's selling our information, how much is my head worth, and where's my cut>? ๐ค
