Title: has G mail been compromised????
Post by: MAN OF BLUES on February 23, 2017, 04:50:15 PM: Ok, wierdness now...
Both my wife and I have gotten G Mail notifications our logins were incorrect, and niether of us had re logged in, to provoke this messege...

Something is amiss.... and before I go changing stuff, I have to ask around.... pretty fishy...

Believe it's called Phishing. "You horked up your login, click this link to...."

If you can view the full header of the email, you may find the email is NOT from Google.

If not log into gmail.com directly from a computer and there should be the ability to reset your passwords. Never ever click on a link from an email that says to reset your password.
