Hot Scam: GMail Phishing!!
If you are using GMail, watch out for this scam! Do not reply!

We are not quite sure how widespread is the u/m mail, but its definitely the first we have seen targeting GMail.

Most experienced net surfers will not fall for this trap, but there will definitely be some newbies getting scammed.

Please help to spread around.
