Google never asks you to provide personal information. If you get an email asking you for this information, it's likely a fake email from an entity pretending to be Google.
Information Google won't ask for over email
- Usernames and passwords
- Social Security numbers
- Bank account numbers
- PINs (Personal Identification Numbers)
- Credit card numbers
- Your mother's maiden name
- Your birthday
I received a suspicious email
If you receive a suspicious email, do not provide the sender any information, download attachments, or click any links.
If the message claims to be from Google, report it.
