Gmail IDs are now being hacked..

U will get a mail and it will seem that it is from google admins...

They will ask your ID and Password in a form

Pls dont give it

Admins will never ask for passwords....they have a huge database and backups too

Kindly delete such emails

Is this really true? I use gmail as my primary email address. This is my contact address for all my transactions online. I'm glad I have not received any email such as this; because I might have been a victim if that happened. At least now I know. Thanks for sharing this information.

If you are already using Gmail, then obviously, the admin should already know your password and doesn't need to get your account information again once you are logged in. Thank you for the heads up swapnil90

Thanks, I think it is important to understand that any reputable company would not be asking you for your password in an e-mail.
