I got an email from an Outlook address asking to buy or delete my Gmail so they could claim the same username. Should I be concerned about scams?
hey mike, this email seems totally sus. its likely phishing so just ignore it and report it. gmail wont do stuff like this, so dont worry too much but stay alert.
The email you received is almost certainly a scam. I encountered a similar situation once where an email asked me to respond regarding my account details, and after some research, it turned out to be a phishing attempt. Genuine email services like Gmail would never ask for a transfer of account ownership, nor would they reach out from an unfamiliar domain. I recommend ignoring the email, flagging it as spam, and double-checking with Gmail support if you have any doubts about your account’s security. Always err on the side of caution.
I encountered a similar email a while back and after some investigation, I found that it was merely a phishing attempt. The request to transfer account ownership is not something legitimate providers like Google would ever engage in. As someone who once received a comparable scam email, I can advise that it is best to ignore such requests and delete them immediately. It is always wise to verify any unusual email by contacting the service provider directly, using their official support channels. Stay cautious and never share personal account details.
hey mike, ur email seems like a phising scam. dont click any links, ignor it and mark as spam. if unsure, check directly with official support. stay safe!
