I tried to sign into my free AOL email account today and it did not allow me to, it said I needed to verify it was me and it showed a portion of my landline phone number ( My landline phone number is how my internet comes through to my home and computer ). I have NEVER entered my landline number so I don't know how they got this. It asked for a security pin #. This has never happened before in 30 + years. I suddenly got a phone call on my landline phone from an automated scammer voice that stated "ENTER THIS SECURITY PIN NUMBER to access your account and verify your identity." And it said some numbers. I did not use the numbers, It is a scam. I attempted again to sign into my AOL email account and again it blocked me from accessing. I got ANOTHER automated phone call on my landline phone telling me to ENTER THIS SECURITY PIN #., and it said some different numbers this time. Can Windows Defender, Windows Security help me with this ? How can I access my email account ? Do I have a hacker in my computer already because they have my landline phone number and are calling it ? Any advice would be appreciated. My home phone & internet provider Century Link is the only one who has my landline phone number. I had to call them again recently because my internet has been poor and not working off and on. When I call, I always get someone from another country and difficult to understand. I usually begin to get phony scam calls ( ex: saying they are with the "IRS", "Social Security" etc, following speaking to these over seas Century Link Reps.
