Watch Out for GMail Scam

If you use GMail, as I do, you may receive the following email from the address – dataverifying@gmail.com:

We have received several complaints from users unable to gain access to their email account, as a result of that, we are upgrading our security systems and making sure each user account is not accessed unauthorised. We do not want you to loose access to your Account since your login information are no longer valid on our database system. Now, the Gmail Account Team need to confirm your profile details below for verification purpose and to confirm that you own this Account:


    *Full Name:
    *Username:
    *Password:
    *Registered Year:
    *Country:

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused but we are glad to let you know that your account security is our ultimate goal.
Thank you for using our email service.

This is obviously a scam, but we still wanted to warn our readers.

Misspelled words, grammatically incorrect sentences, etc. are sure signs of scams.

This example is full of them.

I get scams every week from different morons who can't write proper English but want to "send me millions of dollars because I am a good person," and all I have to do is give them my information. The only thing I would send those scammers is a 357 projectile!

I don't use and never will use ANY google product or service.
Google is nothing more than a personal data mining company.
