A Huge (and Dangerously Convincing) Google Docs Phishing Scam Is Targeting
the Media

http://gizmodo.com/a-huge-and-dangerously-convincing-google-docs-phishin-1794888973

        On Wednesday afternoon, countless unsuspecting email
        users--including reporters from BuzzFeed, Hearst, New York
        Magazine, Vice, as well as your friends here at Gizmodo
        Media--received some seemingly legit invites to view a Google
        Docs file. The email doesn't look quite right, but anyone who
        clicks through arrives at a login screen that looks almost
        indistinguishable from the same screen you'd see if someone
        actually invited you to a Google Doc. It's the one with a list
        of your Google Accounts, and it even matches Google's recent
        redesign.

I received one similar to this a few days ago.
