Phish Bowl Alerts
Fake warnings of full mailboxes have been reported with a link provided to "Clear Up Space", with the following offered as two variations. As clues to their being bogus, besides the notices coming from the joe@stigove.com and the link provided having no ties to Google, Brown Gmail accounts do not have a set capacity. Either flag the email as phishing (open the message in a browser, click on the stack of three dots to the right of the REPLY button and select "Report phishing") or simply delete it.
