I received what I think is a phishing email today. It is from a gmail address.
Here are the email and part of the PDF letter attached to it:
Is there any way to report this to google (gmail) for investigation and shutdown?

Re: Go Phish
Thanks, Leif.
Strangely, that email does not appear in the list when I go to gmail.com; yet it was addressed to me at a gmail.com account.
Is there any other way to report it?

Re: Go Phish
Hi BobH,
If you still have that email in your system try passing your mouse over the sender’s email address. I would suggest it is coming from a domain that is not @gmail.com. As to why it is not on the gmail server might be a mystery, or in the spam folder?
Not that it is any consolation but I have recently received two like emails which I just deleted immediately as spam. The two messages were received shortly after I received my new Dell desktop that was preloaded with the business edition of the McAfee software. Just coincidental I am sure.

Thanks, Bob.
Good to hear from you. How are you doing these days?
Like you, I ignored the email - other than to try to report it to Google who might be able to squelch the sender.

Goes with the number of miles trod. Both of mine and one hip have been replaced with artificial joints (which are remarkably more useful to me than artificial intelligence).
