If you have a Gmail account, it’s important to consider the warning signals that come directly from Google. Search giant Google has issued a warning to all Gmail account users.
Users are warned about the illegal activities of scammers. Such scams are very dangerous for users. Cyber attacks using Google branding and groups of scammers are trying to lure users in the name of “online rewards program”.
Users who open the fake email are told about the reward. They are given a message that users have searched 18.25 billion times on Google. A message is sent to users congratulating them. They are called lucky Google users. Out of that number of users, one lucky user is announced to send a thank you gift.
The message requires Gmail users to click on a specific link. Only by clicking on that link they will be able to get their reward. It is said that hackers have found new ways to harm users. This is a new and innovative way for hackers to access personal data.
With this, they can steal money and identity of users. Google now urges users to be wary of this scam. Users are asked to check their inbox carefully and report anything suspicious. Also, try to verify the authenticity of these campaigns before assuming them to be true.
Google has warned Gmail users about pop-up windows. You may be asked to enter your email or other personal information. Google does not offer rewards to users like this. Therefore, you cannot win prizes by entering personal information. Close the pop-up window and refrain from entering personal information.
