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

Where was the first recorded phishing at?
The first recorded phishing attack occurred in 1996 and targeted America Online (AOL) users. Attackers posed as AOL staff, sending users emails that mimicked official communications and instructed them to provide personal account information. This early instance of phishing laid the groundwork for the widespread online scams that followed.

Who should you report email scams to?
You should report email scams to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) via their website, as they collect information on scams to help protect consumers. Additionally, you can forward the scam email to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org. If the scam involves a specific company, report it directly to that company as well. Finally, consider notifying your email provider to help them improve their spam filters.
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.
