After that, you might need to read what I have mentioned before about "8 ways to verify spam email & avoid cheating " post in Xaivier Blog.

In short, I would like to highlight few points that can immediately help you to ignore this kind of scam email.

1. Do you see your email address in the email? Answer: NO

2. Do you think that Google will use mailboxdata@gmail.com as its email address? Come on. Anyone also can register this email account. So, the answer is: NO

3. Do you think Google people will do this kind of action? Sending an email for verification? Logically speaking, who knows your data is out-of-data or not. Besides, is it your birthday changed from time to time? If it does, what you need to do is just sign in your gmail account directly. Google people are not free to do this kind of task manually. Therefore, let's give this scammer a big NO NO.
 


That's all for today. Feel free to give me a comment about this topic or any suggestion about Xaivier Blog. It will be a great support to Xaivier Blog.
