I, Steve, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “GoogIe”:
This must go down as one that NEARLY caught me – good thing I noticed the typical phishing statement and bad spelling when this asshole said; “We will suspend access to your account if we don’t recieve your reply within the given time frame” and then checked the email address.
