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 have an old gmail account that’s just my first name initial and my last name.
Occasionally I get mails from shady people, like “coaches” spewing pseudoscientific fake psychology bullshit. Turns out there’s a guy that barely knows how to write and has a similar name to mine who regularly gives my address to people.
I tried telling them about the address (there was what I assume was a family contact in CC). I don’t think it registered at all. Makes me rather uneasy.
