Google?

[lillibet]

I'm puzzled by this email:
"accounts-noreply@google.com" to me

We searched our database but we were unable to find any usernames associated
with your email address Elizabethh@gmail.com.

For more help, visit the link below.

http://www.google.com/accounts/
If clicking the link above does not work, copy and paste the URL in a
new browser window instead.

Thank you for using Google.

Anyone have a clue what this is about? I didn't click on the links, but did go to the pages it cites, which are genuine Google pages, but give me no further information.

maybe someone trying to get your info by accident typod something so you got the results of their query? if they were at a "forgot your username?" page, and entered "elizabethh@gmail.com" as a typo for something else, for instance.

I like that answer. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, try viewing(*) the source of the original email message and see if the URL in the link for "http://www.google.com/accounts/" is the same?

Sometimes phishers craft a message that shows a legit URL, but has a link that goes to a fake site.

Oh, yeah, I checked that. They're all the same and all google.com.
