Text of phishing email:

Dear Gmail Account User,

To confirm your account kindly fill the account verification form.

After Following the instructions in the sheet, your account will not be interrupted and will continue as normal. Thanks for your attention to this request.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
Thanks & Regards,

Do NOT respond to this if you get it in Gmail or another account. It is NOT legitimate. For more information on phishing, go here please:

2. I was thinking the same thing
How hard would it be to find a native speaker with an 8th grade education to read it?
