Over the past few months i have been receiving numerous emails that declare themselves to be from Gmail office and are demanding account details so that my account doesn't get suspended or canceled.They came from email accounts like acctaccess.verifying@gmail.com ,verify.finishacct@gmail.com and a few more.I had suspicion that this was not from Gmail as they don't usually does send such messages or verifications.I never replied thank god.

The emails look like this

We are shutting down some accounts due to congestion in our database system and your account was chosen to be deleted. If you are still interested in using our email service please click reply and fill in the space below for verification purpose:-  Full Name: Pasword: Occupation: Year of Birth: State of Origin: Note: This email is only for Gmail users (Users should reply within 48 hours to avoid "Permanently Lockup" Account) Thank you for using Gmail !  The Gmail Team

I would recommend my readers and friends not to respond to such fake emails that are used to hack into our accounts.Don't reply and save yourself from the trap.Google never sends emails to verify account.


The best thing to do is to mark this as spam and hope that google sees it and blocks these accounts as soon as possible.Google are you listening?

Finally Rapidshare is saying bye to its boring and tough captcha images(No longer will have to get confused over finding the cats),the file hosting giant announced the news yesterday on the website's news page.Even though they removed Captcha they have lowered the downloading speeds of free users too 500Kilobit/Second,and now Free users can upload files upto 200MB to Rapidshare,which used to 100MB earlier,

Screenshot -Rapidshare account details
New Changes:-

• No Captcha for Free users.
• Upload Limit increased from 100MB to 200MB.
• Download Speeds reduced for free users.
• No Time limit between Downloads.

Extract from Rapidshare website:

By eliminating the captchas we simplified the use of RapidShare's free services significantly. In addition, free-users can now upload and download bigger files (up to 200 megabyte). Anyhow, to protect RapidShare from congestion caused by automated downloading, we limited the maximum download speed for free users to 500 kilobit per second. To compensate for that, they do not have to wait anymore until starting a succeeding download.
