Day by day we received a hell lots of hoax and spam emails. The new email that I have been received require me to supply the username and password. When I clicked the reply button, the reply email goes to info.acctdetails@gmail.com. This is fishy, please do not fall for this trick. By giving away your vitals you might become the victim to identity theft and email phishing scams. Using a spam blocker software is a very recommended security measurement you can actually do to block these types of hoax and spam mails from entering your inbox.
