Warning; Gmail Users

I received another phishing scam email from posers pretending to be Google representatives and threatens termination of the Gmail user account.

If you receive one of these emails report it to Google. DO NOT reply.
Below is an actual email of the platform they are using, this is the second one I have received in about a month.
