Here is a new twist on a phishing scam that uses Google’s free calendar to try and trick you into sending them your confidential information. Take a look at the email address they try to pass as legitimate: fedexdeliveringoffice21@go2.pl They try and trick you into thinking because fedex is in the email address that it’s real and that you won’t focus in on the go2.pl portion of the email, which is the most important.
