Latest way to spam - kinda groundbreaking. They send you mail for free upgrading your email account to 10 GB and most of us click on the link withour reading any further - of course space is always important, be it online or offline. And when it is mentioning Gmail, from Gmail team and no-reply@google.com, crafted in much the same way as usual Google mails are, chances are that it wouldn’t be fake. Definitely a prank by someone intelligent enough to take care of all this has come up with this excellent example for other spammers! Here is how mail looks like -
