Gmail account users BEWARE!!!

Tweet

Everyone who has a Gmail account: DO NOT follow instructions on the email below from verifycustomercare400[at]gmail.com if you also got the same "official-looking" email. It is designed to extract from you your Google password which they will use to hack your account. This is what they have been doing with Yahoo accounts that were suddenly sending "Help I'm stranded in this or that country and I need you to wire me money via Western Union" kind of thing. Don't be fooled! Google will never ask you to give them your password using an ordinary Gmail account. I reported the email to Google and they replied "Thank you for your report of abuse using a Google Account. We have reviewed the account reported and taken appropriate action per our Terms of Service (TOS)." I decided to post this here because I just read a discussion where someone said he can no longer open his Gmail account. == xxxxxxxx, you are invited to DEAR GOOGLE ACCOUNT USER Sun Jul 19 7:30pm – 8:30pm (Timezone: Hawaii Time) Calendar: xxxxxxxxx Owner/Creator: verifycustomercare400@gmail.com This Email is from G mail Customer Care and we are sending it to every G mail Email User Accounts Owner for safety. we are having congestion due to the anonymous registration of G mail accounts so we are shutting down some G mail 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.
