****UPDATE YOUR ACCOUNT INFORMATION****

This is the email I got on my gmail account!
For the second time in a different form.
I really doubt it this is a real warning.
Anyone else experienced this?

Dear Account User,

There is a problem with our Server Admin Database.

      Due to the clash we had on our Database, we were
unable to access your information to prevent your account
from being
affected of the ''Virus"as well as  protecting your
account from been
deleted permanently.

     The reason  we are sending this e-mail  is to notify 
every
Account Owner for safety precaution. We
are having congestions due to the anonymous registration of
other
accounts so we are shutting down some  accounts.
   Your account was among those to be CLOSED.We are sending
you this
email so that
you can verify and let us know if you still intend using 
this
account.
If you are still interested please confirm your account by
filling the
space below.

   You will have to confirm your E-mail by filling out your
Login
Information
below after clicking the reply button, or your account will
be
suspended within 24 hours for security reasons.

This is known as a phishing attack.  It is NOT from Google,
and you
should report it:

Just in case you don't fully understand:

(1) This notice did not come from Gmail or Google.  It came
from a crook
trying to steal your account information.  It is one form of
Identity Theft.

(2) Do not EVER respond to an inquiry like this, unless you
are absolutely
certain where and whom it really came from and that this is
the way they
conduct business.  As far as I know, Google and Gmail never
ask you for
information about your account, except when you login.

It can be difficult to tell what is real and what isn't.  If
there is a
hyperlink to click on, run your mouse over it WITHOUT
CLICKING on it and see
the actual URL it would go to (often displayed on the bottom
of the window
while your mouse is on it) and examine it carefully to see
where it really
goes.  It may be different than the one visible within the
message.

If in doubt, find another way to contact the organization
(look them up on
the web or the phone book) and ask them.

Stay alert.  Protect yourself.

Andy

When you get one of these bogus emails be sure to report it
as a
phishing attack.

Use the little drop down arrow next to "reply" and
then click on
"report phishing."  The message will then be moved
to your spam label
and also a red phishing warning will appear on it.

You can also choose "show original" from the drop
down menu. This will
show you the email without any of the html, just the code.

It can be difficult to tell what is real and what isn't.  If there is a
hyperlink to click on, run your mouse over it WITHOUT CLICKING on it and see
the actual URL it would go to (often displayed on the bottom of the window
while your mouse is on it) and examine it carefully to see where it really
goes.  It may be different than the one visible within the message.

Actually, in this case, it is very easy to tell if this email is real or not.  It is obviously NOT real because no company ever asks it's users for their username or password.

Get them all the time. Just do as Zack(Doc) suggested,
report it and
then delete it.
