If you use Gmail and suddenly find a message from Google in your inbox congratulating you... beware. It appears that a new scam has begun doing the rounds and being tricked by the message could hand personal data and credit card details into the hands of cyber thieves.
This latest attack uses Google branding and begins with a subject line that reads "Online Reward Program". Once opened the message suggests that you have just made the 18.25 billionth search on Google and that means a reward is coming your way.
"Congratulations! You are the lucky Google user!" the email exclaims. "Every 10 millionth search is reached worldwide, we will proclaim a lucky user to send out a thank-you gift. You are the lucky user!"
