Here’s how the email looks like.

Gmail users are advised not to fall into these type of scam as the scammer can use your Google account for all sort of nasty things. Please change your Google Account password as often as possible

  1. Please can ypou help in resolving the issue wiht my gmail account? I cannot access my mails because I use a 2 step system and my phone do not recieve unknown numbers and sms is not commiong through the phone. Can an administrator deactivate the 2 step system for me?

  2. This email has a bunch of spelling mistakes in it. Even the informal Gmail team wouldn’t make such mistakes, especially if they are sending this email to many of their users.

  3. Its really easy to send fake emails from websites such as http://fakesend.com

    In GMail, you can just check “Show Detail” and it will show you in the header whether or not its fake or not. Not sure about the other email providers.

  4. I personally like such emails :D . They’re always so funny and I am not so stupid to trust them. I was recently warned by Google AdWords team to ignore similar kind of emails which asks for user’s credit card details.

    The best thing is when you get a phising email which is asking you to log in into an account which doesn’t even exist. For instance, some bank which you don’t know, and so on. As I am from Slovakia, I even received emails written in Russian or Roman… It’s all crazy :) .

  5. People who do this are …. Once I had a similar e-mail from paypal. I was new there and I did not knew anything about such cheaters and I gave my password to them… luckily I recognized, that something is not right and I changed my password immediately…
