Gmail Team’s warning message: Provide information or your account will be deactivated


In the morning , I was shocked when i saw a mail from the Gmail Team stating that they will deactivate my account in 7 days if I will not provide them information.

Below is the text of the mail:

Our Team is working on total security on all accounts and as a result of this security upgrade we require all Google members to verify their account with Google. To prevent your account from disability you will have to update your informations by clicking the reply button and filling the space below.

Thank you for using Gmail !

The Gmail Team

Why the hell Gmail team wants the account and password of my email. Passwords are very sensitive things and even at the server end they are stored in encoded format to protect accounts from hackers attack. This is the last layer of the security and nobody is going to share this information with anybody and I am no different.

I hardly believe in the authenticity of the mail. This is against the information privacy Law.

If you throughly analyze the mail then you will find lots of grammatical errors in this mail and one can’t expect such errors from Gmail team. Take a look at one of the mistake they have committed.

They have used the word ‘Informations’ ….there is no such word in English dictionary.

It is my Request …….Plea…….Appeal …behest (Take your word) but Please .. please …. please… do not reply to this mail.

This is a trap, if you provide all the details then your account will be vulnerable to hacking attack and you may end up losing your all the personal information and mails.
