One of your customer attempted to hack me

[#1]

Good evening (I live at GMT +8),

I am an expat, residing in Philippines.

A few minutes ago, someone tried to breach my Gmail account, luckily I was in front of computer, and could immediately secure my account.

Here is a print screen of the attempt...

I would appreciate if you identify the hacker (or the victim of a bot) and take necessary measures...

Cordially Yours,

 {edited for privacy}

P.S. And yes... In order to be able to contact you, I had to use my VPN... ^^

patrick,

i believe that is what they call a phishing scam just mark it as spam and gmail will deal with.

  We've found gmail to be very good at blocking spam & phishing like that.

"To have Gmail send messages from a specific sender to the Trash automatically:

• Click the Show search options triangle in the Gmail search field.
• Type the desired email address under From:.
  • You can block an entire domain by entering just that. To block all mail from both user-a@example.com and user-b@example.com, type "@example.com".
  • To block more than one address, separate them with "|" (the vertical bar; typically above the backslash on the keyboard; not including the quotation marks). You can block both user-a@example.com and user-b@example.com by typing "user-a@example.com|user-b@example.com", for example.
• Click Create filter with this search ».
• Make sure Delete it is checked under When a message arrives that matches this search:.
• Click Create filter.
  • Check Also apply filter to [__] matching conversations to delete previously received messages."

  Hope that helps.

Sorry, but I think you didn't read correctly the mail.... That was NOT a phishing scam.... This kind of scam consists in requeszting that you log on a "fake" site, in order to steal your details...

This mail was a genuine mail from Google. You can bet the first thing I did was to double check the validity of it !

As a precaution, I never click on a link in a mail, or open an attachment, so....

I have now enabled the double security feature, meaning that not only Google checks the geolocation of the connection everytime someone opens my gmail account, but second, they send a 6 digits code number to my cellphone.

I use online banking for a very long time, and am well aware of fishing scams. I don't jump on every suspicious behaviour. This was a genuine hacking attempt though.
