Gmail Phishing

There's a particularly nasty attempt to get into your gmail account going around at the moment. The full email is below the fold.

What they're trying to do is to get you to reveal your log in to your email account, Once they've got that they can then use it ti send out further streams of email: and also chack through your archives for any passwords you might have sent using it.

The answer to these sorts of attempts is simply to ignore them.
