The link at the bottom is legit, but I would say this is a total scam.

Yeah I thought it looked legit but usually they won't ask for all the info.

gmail NEVER asks for your account info

I get those all the time...except mine say COX COMMUNICATIONS customers.

I replied cuz I heard if you don't, they'll cut your COX off!

nope, I never got it. I doubt that they would send it out and ask for that information.

I would copy and paste it in an email to the contact info at the top of gmail's page...

Yeah. It's a total scam. If there was a situation brewing with emails and the deletions of accounts, they'd put something up on their main webpage or something.

I wouldn't send them any information, period.

Here are the ones I keep getting:

I use gmail and have never received anything like that.

well that does it! I'm gonna get all VIKING on their a s s

Undeniably fake and fraudulent. No ISP would send an email like that! Same goes for the OP, gmail does not send those type of emails.

Same here -- I would be very suspicious of that....

Yup. I'd be suspicious of anything like that at all.
