Online users who have received email messages like the one below, which claim that their mailboxes have been compromised and will be permanently shutdown are phishing email scams. The phishing or fake email messages are being sent by cyber criminals who are attempting to trick the recipients into clicking on the link in them. But, the link in the phishing or fake email messages goes to a fraudulent website that steals email account credentials (usernames and passwords), personal information, and may also steal credit card information.
