Webmail Technical Support Mail Quota Limit Phishing Email Message

The email message below, which appears as if it was sent by Technical Support claiming the recipients' accounts have reached their mail quota limit, is a phishing scam created by cybercriminals to steal the recipients' email account usernames and passwords. So, recipients of the fake email message should not follow the instructions in it, because they run the risk of having their accounts hijacked by the cyber-criminals behind the scam. And, online users should never send their passwords to anyone. Passwords should be kept confidential and should not be shared with anyone.
