Any one had an "oath" e-mail?
Any advice on what we/I should do?

I do, hello fellow provider dinosaur! Haha.

I believe Oath is the company that bought out AOL a few years back - it's probably legit but it depends what it's asking you to do?

Iā€™d like to know as well. I still use my AOL email for odd things.

There have been a couple of phishing scams.

I must admit, there were info emails a few years back but nothing since. So not surprised to see it might be a scam.

Usual rules apply, never click the link, if concerned log into your AOL account and talk to customer service if concerned.

AOL got acquired by verizon many years ago and later changed the name to Oath - that part is legit.
