Phishing Scam

Phishing Scam- This is just a heads up to a phishing scam that all should be aware of.

Phishers are getting more creative in their phishing attempts. And one of the most recent is a phishing attempt using the Google Calender event invitation.

Part of the invitation reads as follows:

This email is from Gmail Customer Care and we are sending it to every Gmail Email User Accounts Owner for safety. we are having congestions due to the anonymous registration of Gmail accounts so we are shutting down some Gmail accounts and your account was among those to be deleted. We are sending you this email so that you can verify and let us know if you still want to use this account.

Here's the key to this scam: Google does not ask for your password in an email. So delete.
