I received an email from – Gmail <account-supportmastercool.info> – informing me my gmail account has been selected and will be shut unless I provided – "Account Name, Password, Date of Birth and Country" . It sounded very suspicious to me. Any body received similar reques? |
Why would Google email from mastercool.info?!! |
I'd take it very seriously. It's almost certainly real. I had a similar one last week and had to follow the instructions carefully and avoided losing my account.
...seriously tho, how gullible are you? |
Like hebbet says, its phishing definitely, don't fall for it :-). Google would not communicate like this. |
Hi Kuchiye Google does not send out emails like that. If you suspect that someone may have gained information in this way, I would strongly recommend changing your password as soon as possible. Our blog post at http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2009/07/password-strength-and-account-recovery.html has some tips for passwords.
There is some great information about the account recovery process at http://www.labnol.org/internet/gmail-and-google-apps-hacked/11799/ – it might be worth writing down the information there for later, just in case. |
