Warning; Gmail Users

I received another phishing scam email from posers pretending to be Google representatives and threatens termination of the Gmail user account.

If you receive one of these emails report it to Google. DO NOT reply.
Below is an actual email of the platform they are using, this is the second one I have received in about a month.

Your email address needs verification for user safety. There is an on going email congestion due to anonymous registration of our service so we are shutting down some gmail email accounts and your account will automatically be deleted. Still interested in using our services please filling the space below for verification purpose by clicking the reply button.

User name: ...........................

Your account will not be interrupted after following the instructions and your service will continue as normal. Thanks for your attention
