Hi People,

May be it is disturbing to address this mail  to this large mailing list 
But I received today a mail in which I almost can see around 500 ids in current To and mail chain History
and sender was asking to fill  Google account details  


the text of mail is as follows

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I didn't reply to that mail as it would add around 500 contacts to my accounts

So if some official Google admin may take care of this issue it will be great

Thanks for pointing this out to people. Like you said, this is a
phishing attack.

The best way to get Google to recognize this for more people is to
click on the menu in the upper right of the message (little arrow) and
choose "Report Phishing."
