Gmail preventing Phishing !

March 3rd, 2005 at 08:32pm

As usual, I had some spam in my spam box today. Sometimes, being curious, I do check out the spam mails.. to see the current trends/patterns. So, today, i came across this “phishing mail” .. the usual bank account verification stuff..

I had reported some phishing mails to gmail team earlier using the “Report phishing” feature. But, today, while I opened the above message, I could find a red box with a warning message on it from gmail !..

The best part is, the message is plain text. Even the link is plain text !. So, no question of clicking it. No URL !!

Check out the snapshot!
