    Just received a very authentic looking email from #-Link-Snipped-# - and the email says -

    Hi XXXX

    Your mobile application is constantly sending shutdown request to us about your account.
    We are contacting you to ask if you are aware of these concurrent request.
    If left unattended, we are afraid that we will obey the command from your mobile app and shutdown immediately as requested by your account.
    This confusion can be solved and averted by checking below [Button]

    See the screenshot -

    Of course, the language used in the text ain't very professional; but I decided to give it a benefit of doubt. If you click on the Email Dashboard button, you will be taken to a FAKE website : bankruptcy-advice.au. The website itself will present a very authentic looking Gmail login interface!

    DO NOT LOGIN TO THAT WEBSITE!

    Google Chrome will actually show the notice of phishing website; but I'm not sure what would other browsers do.

    If you try logging in; the website will have all your authentic username and password! They'll quickly alter your password and have access to all your important information!

    Share this post with as many friends as you can!

    I didn't post the complete url; just the main domain. It presents standard Gmail login interface. I strongly advice not to visit that website.
