Ammon News - Google is warning its nearly two billion Gmail users to immediately delete a concerning email that tries to look like it comes from Google itself.

The new scam is called a 'no-reply' email attack because victims receive a supposedly official message from no-reply@accounts.google.com.

Inside the email, recipients will find a notice claiming that Google has been subpoenaed by law enforcement to release everything in the user's account.

The email even contains a link to a Google support page that appears to have all the details about what's happening regarding the legal case against you.

However, company officials have said it's all a fake, created by online scammers looking to gain access to a victim's personal information.

The attack is triggered when Gmail users click the link and then download or approve permissions to view the phony legal documents.

By doing this, the victims unknowingly give the scammers limited access to their Google account, like the ability to read emails or access files.

In some cases, downloading the fake Google files spreads malware into the victim's device, which is harmful software that can steal even more information, including passwords and bank details.
