"Security Alert for your Linked Profile" Scam
an anonymous user from: León, Guanajuato, Mexico

I have been receiving several email for the past weeks. I have not open them since they arrive in my Junk-email folder and they look suspiscious since these warn me of a security alert in an account that I do not have linked to Google.

The message comes from: "Support", and the heading reads: "(The name shown in my email account) Security alert for your profile #(an a number here)".

Then in the main scroll I can read: "Your account is listed as te recovery email (my email account here, which is the same in which I'm getting this email). Don't recognize..." and don't know what else since I have not oppened any of this emails.

It's been many of them, daily.
