Better Business Bureau: Fake Emails from Gmail carry Malware


The BBB, in a January 13, 2015, alert provided great tips and information from Google about the recent fake Gmail emails. I've provided some of the information from the article as well as a link to Google.
 
Better Business Bureau:
 
Have a Gmail account? Watch out for scam emails posing as messages from Google. They may look like official notices about your account, but they carry malware.

How the Scam Works:

You receive an email that appears to be a message about your Google or Gmail account. One version of this scam informs you that "You have exceeded your email limit quota." Another tells you that "you have a deferred email." The text is hyperlinked in both, implying that you should click for more information. Don't do it!
