The phishing Google websites look exactly like the legitimate Google websites, which is why many Google users are being tricked into submitting their user names and passwords on the fake websites, thinking they are signing into the legitimate Google website.
Google or Gmail users who have already been tricked by the fake email messages, should change their Google password immediately, before their Google accounts are hijacked and use fraudulently by cybercriminals. Google or Gmail users should never click on a link to sign into their accounts. They should always go directly to www.gmail.com or accounts.google.com to sign into their accounts. Once they have signed in, they will be able to view notifications and other important messages, if there are any.using the method mentioned above is the best way to protect against phishing scams.
Also, Google users should enable to Google 2-Step Verification or Authentication, which will help prevent cybercriminals from gaining access to their accounts, even if their passwords have been stolen.to learn more about Google 2-Step Verification, please click here.
