Fraudulent emails or SMS text messages branded as AAA are being sent to recipients congratulating them on
"winning" or having an "expiring offer for a car emergency kit." AAA did not send these emails, and they could
potentially be malicious. Do not open or click any links in these emails or texts, and delete them
immediately. Stay safe, and remember, AAA will never ask for sensitive information via unsolicited messages.

To protect yourself, be on the lookout for the following characteristics of phishing emails:
- Urgent calls to action: be wary of emails claiming your account is compromised or that
you must act immediately.
- Generic greetings: legitimate companies usually address you by name, not with generic
greetings like “Dear sir/madam.”
- Mismatched domains: check the sender’s email address for subtle misspellings or different
domains (e.g., micros0ft.com instead of microsoft.com).
- Suspicious links and attachments: hover over links to see the actual URL, and never open
attachments from unknown senders.
- Poor grammar and spelling: professional companies usually have polished writing and
editing.
