I have not responded to the email with particulars requested because of suspicion.
Why do they want my password when password is not to be given out to anybody? Then why is it GMA IL and not Gmail. Even the M in Gmail is not in the form of an envelope.
I think most Gmail account holder receive this email. Whats your response?
