Good luck; I've found it usually takes them over a month to get around to it, for they don't treat Phishing as serious as spam (nobody there ever thought about that!); anyway I usually forward them in blind copies, sending it every other day or so. It's usually handles by the AOL minions but sometimes you get lucky. Until they start responding I send blind copies to:
- TOSEMAIL1@aol.com
- abuse@aol.com
- TOSProfileReport@aol.com
- domain-adm@corp.aol.com
- TOSREPORTS@aol.com
- abuse@aol.net
- postmaster@aol.com
- domains@aol.net
- TOSGeneral@aol.com
- abuse@abuse.aol.com
- aolfbl@abuse.aol.com
- domaincomplaints@corp.aol.com
- spam@aol.com

What specific country the phishing started?
There probably is no one particular country where phishing started. Since phishing is essentially a form of "social engineering" and people have been running cons and scams throughout recorded history, it is likely that the first phishing sprang up in multiple places independently and roughly simultaneously with the creation of email. The first "phishers" were probably from countries with fairly good computer infrastructures when email was first created. Phishing occurred even before the first recorded use of the term around 1996. As an example, warez community members on AOL were using AOHell as early as 1994 to steal credit card numbers to use to pay for AOL accounts.
