This appears to be a legitimate email from google regarding an attempt to use my password to log into google. Sent to an old AOL account i keep for trash. They used the first half of my AOL address with an @googlemail.com, which is close to a googlemail address i actually have and asks me to log in to verify the activity.
Im not sure how they intend to access my gmail accounts as this is a legitimate email from google and would direct me to the google accounts page so they would not have visibility of my passwords i use to try to log in.
Im not sure what this is.
Why would they use my AOL email address as a recovery account for a fake gmail account i dont have access to? How to they intend to get my log in details this way?
Any thoughts anyone?
Ps hope this is the roght place for this question.
Do NOT click the link. Instead, go to google.com yourself, go to your account settings, and “check activity”. If there’s anything suspicious (like an attempted login from another country), reset password and ensure 2FA is enabled. Otherwise, you can safely ignore/delete the email. (But still enable 2FA for better protection)
