Gmail users, if you have received email messages like the one below that claim your email account will be suspended because of violation of our Terms of Service, please do not respond to them. This is because the emails are being sent by scammers, and not Google. Remember, never click on a link to sign into your Gmail email account, always go directly to www.gmail.com and sign-in. Once you have signed, you will be notified of important notifications or changes.
