Hi,
Thanks so much for this info about gmail. That email sounded like a scam all
right. I would report it to the google team or the gmail team. Nobody would
ask you to type in a username and password unless you're signing up for a
new account on a site so you can order things online. This really does sound
fraudulent.
I'm glad you didn't follow the instructions and thanks again for the
warning.
Rosemarie

True, but newbies may not know how all these scams work and it's for
them that I was worrying. Better safe than sorry.

Thanks for letting us know on this one. As for me common sense prevails.
It's suspicious they are asking you for a password in an e-mail.

No bank, credit card company, e-mail service etc. will ever ask you
for your password and account in an e-mail unless it's during a
sign-up process and you're clicking on a link to create an account or
to change the password that they've just given you. Needless to say,
I didn't follow the instructions. Is there a way that I can tell
GMail about this scam? For now, I'm marking it as spam.
Thanks and be careful!
