Warning: Phishing Attempts Made on GMail Accounts

Certain leftists and practically all Jihadis would delete this blog (and others like it) if they could.

If leftists/jihadis had my gmail password, they could use it to delete Saber Point. A couple of mouse clicks and three years of blogging would disappear in an instant. Yesterday some of them attempted to get that password by sending me a fraudulent email purporting to be from Google.

Here's what it said:
THIS Email is from Gmail Customer Care and we are sending it to every Gmail Email User Accounts Owner for safety. we are having congestions due to the anonymous registration of Gmail accounts so we are shutting down some Gmail accounts and your account was among those to be deleted.We are sending you this email so that you can verify and let us know if you still want to use this account.If you are still interested please confirm your account by filling the space below.Your User name,password,date of birth and your country information would be needed to verify your account. Due to the congestion in all Gmail users and removal of all unused Gmail Accounts, Gmail would be shutting down all unused Accounts, You will have to confirm your E-mail by filling out your Login Information below after clicking the reply button, or your account will be suspended within 24 hours for security reasons.
· User name:
· Password:
· Date of Birth:
· Country Or Territory:

After following the instructions in the sheet, your account will not be interrupted and will continue as normal. Thanks for your attention to this request. We apologize for any inconveniences. Warning!!! Account owner that refuses to update his/her account after two weeks of receiving this warning will lose his or her account permanently


Needless to say I didn't fall for this ruse. The email of the sender was given as customercare4005@gmail.com.
