Another Gmail scam

Post by Mountain Goat »

Received this today. The link to Google.com is false (but it's converted itself to a real link with paste and copy to this thread), and I know the language is faulty, but isn't this going to fool a lot of users or am I losing my marbles?

Your myemailaddress@gmail.com Google Account needs reset.

Google Mail Servers have sustained a full upgrade to permit a larger flow of information.

Servers are up and running at full capacity now. Our team is in the process of automaticly resetting all Google Mail Accounts.
Due to the amount of Google Mail Accounts in service at this point, we where unable to rest all Google Mail Services to all of our users at this time.

The reset will be done automatically within two days time for all Google Mail Accounts. All Google Mail Accounts will be automatically reset until Oct. 30.

Within this period users who do not manually reset their account may experience loss of e-mail sent to and from their accounts.

To prevent the loss of important correspondence and to reactivate all your Google Mail services you must manually rest your account by clicking on the link below.
