GMAIL SCAM ALERT : Gmail Verification Email Is Identity Theft In Disguise by Skyblings(m): 1:41pm On Dec 12, 2014
A Gmail confirmation scam email is going around, asking you to verify your Gmail account. “Dear Account User,” the request starts out – and goes on to say that you need to confirm your Gmail account, or it will be closed down. Of course, the language is wrong, and it wasn’t even necessarily sent to your Gmail account, but still, people will be taken in by this scam, which asks for your account username and password, your date of birth, and your country of residence.


HERE ARE SOME OF HOW THE MAIL LOOKS LIKE :

>>We are terminating all unverified accounts permanently. Reply, and give your Username,P/word,Tele-fone,DateofBirth


>>Dear Account UserThis 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 Hotmail accounts and your account was among those to be deleted.We are sending you this email to 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 bith 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.

I KNOW MANY WILL FALL FOR THIS SCAM, BUT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD AND PROTECTION PLS IGNORE MAIL ITS A SCAM AND NOT FROM GOOGLE.
