Gmail is Smart

I recieved a “phishing” scam e-mail this afternoon to my gmail account. I have PayPal with my gmail e-mail, and the e-mail was from “[email protected]”.

Google told me: “Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information.”

They then provide a link to Learn More.

Here’s a screenshot:
