This appears to be a legitimate email from google regarding an attempt to use my password to log into google. Sent to an old AOL account i keep for trash. They used the first half of my AOL address with an @googlemail.com, which is close to a googlemail address i actually have and asks me to log in to verify the activity.

Im not sure how they intend to access my gmail accounts as this is a legitimate email from google and would direct me to the google accounts page so they would not have visibility of my passwords i use to try to log in.

Im not sure what this is.

Why would they use my AOL email address as a recovery account for a fake gmail account i dont have access to? How to they intend to get my log in details this way?

Any thoughts anyone?

Ps hope this is the roght place for this question.

    I think this is a legitimate email. What it’s saying is that your google password is compromised. Google blocked the login attempt for other reasons, but please change your password.
