Warning: Don't answer that email from Google Mail!



Beware of the Google Mail Email going around about suspending accounts. I am in awe at the brazzeness of the scam email sender that decide to bring this old faithful scam.

Don't answer the email. Mark it as spam and send it to the spam folder. They are trying to gain access to your account. They will take that information and use it to do whatever they can do with it. Google would never ask for your information like that. This feels flaky, Google messages don't feel flakey. Toss this email out.

For those who have yet to recieve this email from Gmail (google mail) Here it is in its entirety.

"THIS Email is from Gmail Customer Care and we are sending it to every Gmail Email User Accounts Owner for safety. we are having congestions due to the anonymous registration of Gmail accounts so we are shutting down some Gmail accounts and your account was among those to be deleted.We are sending you this email so that you can verify and let us know if you still want to use this account.If you are still interested please confirm your account by filling the space below.Your User name,password,date of birth and your country information would be needed to verify your account. Due to the congestion in all Gmail users and removal of all unused Gmail Accounts, Gmail would be shutting down all unused Accounts, You will have to confirm your E-mail by filling out your Login Information below after clicking the reply button, or your account will be suspended within 24 hours for security reasons.

Of course this is all an attempt to get your information.
