I had this message claiming to be from Gmail and asking for my login details. I didn’t fall for it of course. For a start, I never reply to these; if I’m in any doubt I will contact the organisation in question. Secondly though, the poor punctuation and misspelling of ‘replies’ in the email address suggest it probably wasn’t from the communications team of one of the world’s household names.
