Achtung Gruppes!

I just received this phoney baloney message... this is a dangerous development as the hackers are now attempting to compromise the Gmail system the way they have been the Yahoo mail system of late... DO NOT respond to these in any way other than to ignore them! Note the misspelling of Gmail and the whacky email addy the curious time frame warning and the unnecessary request for username and password info. The pidgeon French flavoring suggests this originated in Nigeria and thus is a Nigerian 419-related scam.
