GMail users, a word of warning, I’ve discovered a new phising email designed to steal your Google account password and credential.
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

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 :) .

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.

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.
