"Google warned: 'Always be wary of messages that ask for personal information like usernames, passwords, or other identification information, or send you to unfamiliar websites asking for this information.'"
"Once a victim opens this malicious link using their phone, the phishing scam can compromise this mobile device itself, especially on Android phones, as malware disguised as a 'Google security check' may be downloaded into the device."
Google has alerted Gmail users about fake notifications regarding suspicious account activity that may lead to phishing scams.

This scam can compromise mobile devices, especially Androids, by downloading malware.
