So, I log into my GMail email account to check messages this afternoon and
find a Message with the Subject "***Update Your Account***".
Upon seeing what they're asking for, I know this is bogus.
Looking at the hidden header info, I find this:

from: Google Mail Help Support <suport@gmail.com>
reply-to: webacountupgrade@w.cn

Subject: ***Update Your Account***

If you have a gmail account, do NOT reply to this stooopid attempt to steal your personal identification.
Never, ever, ever respond to a request for PII (personally identifiable information).
It's always a Phishing attempt and a Scam.
Most of you know the drill, but some require reminding.
'nuf said.

Cheers,
Gary
