How To Report Gmail Phishing

Got an email this morning from account.alert7@googlemail.com (googlemail.com is a Gmail email domain, used in countries where Google does not own the Gmail trademark). The email was a standard phishing email, asking for my username and password to “confirm my account details”, and I would have ignored it, till I saw the email address. I felt the address was too legitimate looking, and, being that it was owned by Google, I could have my good deed for the day and have the account shut down.
If you get a phishing or spam email from a Gmail address, go to this webpage and post as much information as you can. Shutting down people like this can help save another person from identity theft. If you’re already too smart to fall for this stuff, you can do your part to help others who aren’t as aware.
