I’ve been getting some phishing messages on my Gmail lately.

All of them are well made, you won’t notice until you deeply look into the message and where it’s linked to. And here’s the one I received today, pretending PayPal.

Well made, huh?

Gmail is not recognizing these mails as spams, so it appears in your inbox. Just be careful when you receive these messages. Be sure to check all the outgoing links.
