Notice of Termination of Web Mail G-Mail Acct.

[Tina]

I received an email today saying my g-mail account would be terminated
in 48 hours if I didn't send my user name, password, and e-mail
address. They said it was because of a virus going around. They
claimed to be from G-Mail Support. What should I do?

Click "Report Spam" and forget it.. It's a Phishing attempt to get
your information.

never give out your password! i get those sometimes on my yahoo account and delete them asap.....that's my advice!

I got one of these and passed it along to my nephew who works for Google. He passed it along to their phishing guy. --Susan

Susan, please do absolutely nothing.

Think about it - Google already knows your name and pass word. Google would have no reason to ask for it.

I have received several of these emails, and ignored each one.

They are sent by phishers who are looking for individuals' personal information so they can steal your information, as well as plunder your accounts, order goods in your name, and generally make your life hell.

Do not worry; your Google account is safe if you do nothing.

There is also a "Report phishing" choice. To get to that you need to open
the message, then open the drop-down menu (the triangle next to Reply in the
upper right).

When you Report phishing, it implies your message actually gets reported to
Google.

But NEVER respond to these things!

ignore it  or contact gmail and ask them. don't think it is real but don't give the info to any one.

    If I got such an email I would use the "Report Phishing" tool located in the drop-down next to "Reply". It is a Phishing attempt, no doubt about it.

"Think about it - Google already knows your name and pass word."

Actually, Google only knows your e-mail address. They do not (or
should not) know your password. In a proper password system, the most
they can do is change your password, but they can't actually know what
your password is. There are a number of reasons for this including:
not being able to "become" you, protect you from yourself if you use
the same password multiple places, etc.

Your advice is sound, though. Just wanted to clarify that technical
aspect of password management.
