Default Did you get this email from Google?

I got an email from Google wherein it has written that Google is currently updating all the free and premium accounts to give more space to new accounts.

In the email they are asking to enter ID, Pass, Country and Date of Birth but I don't know where I have to enter those things.

I was wondering that did the email really sent by google team or someone else sent me that email and trying to hack my IDs by asking all the information.

Did any of you get any email like this?

It's 100% a fraudulent mail.

a legit company will never ask for your password! nor will they ever need to!

they have access of your account without your password....that's why/how they run that site!

anything that ever asks for any personal info...passwords, SSN, telephone....beware! unless it's a legit business...like signing up for an advertising program...but if they email you asking for such info do not give it to them!
report the email as spam and foward it to the legit companies spoof/phising email report address!
