I received the following email recently. Is it genuine or a scam? I did not ask for this address to be created. Please advise me. Regards, Bob

"Your Gmail address,

*4@gmail.com, has been created.

Welcome to Gmail! You can login to your account at https://mail.google.com/.

Here are a couple of tips to help you get started:

• Use Gmail's import tools to move mail and contacts from your other email accounts to your new Gmail address.

• Download the mobile app for Android or iPhone and iPad to stay connected on the go.

Should you ever encounter problems with your account or forget your password we will contact you at this address.

Hello,

I keep getting emails from Google Team saying that there is a notification from a person, always a different name identified as a Google Team member and that the email was unable to be delivered to me. Comes to my spam folder.

Am I to report this type of email and where do I forward the emails to that I get to stop them?

I am not able to identify if it is from the real thing or not and not sure how to know if Google Team is sending me emails? What is safe and how can I know for sure?

Thank you.

Laurie.

Any email that appears to have been sent by Google requesting personal information or money is a fake. Google doesn't request personal information via email message and will never ask users to send money in order to claim a prize or promotion.
