The link in the fake email goes to a phishing website that will ask visitors to sign into with their accounts. But, any attempt to sign-in will send their email account credentials(usernames and passwords) to the cybercriminals behind the scam.

Once the cybercriminals have received their potential victims' email account credentials, they will gain access to their accounts, hijack them by changing their passwords, and then use them fraudulently.

Onlne users who have been tricked by the scam are asked to change their email account password before their accounts are hijacked.
