Gmail Account closing in 48 hours?

I also received the following email today.  I noticed that there's others who are getting this email too. and conclusion is that this is just another phishing method.  It does look seriously genuine to me at first: -

Job Scam Alert from Jobstreet

This is from the jobstreet. All jobseekers watch out.


We've noticed an increase in the amount of job scams recently. Scammers are pretending to be reputable Multinational Corporations, including Oil and Gas companies, and sending jobseekers an email confirming how they have been accepted for an interview overseas.

This would of course cost money to the jobseeker (air tickets, lodging, food etc.) but the letter states that the company is willing to ‘sponsor’ 100% of the jobseekers’ expenses. The catch? Jobseekers will have to pay a ‘refundable’ deposit of USD$100 upwards. Needless to say once that fee has been paid, the victim realizes that no flights or lodgings have been reserved and that the interview offer is false.

A sample of communication emails from scammers, including screen shots, can be found on our JobStreet Forum at http://forum.jobstreet.com/index.php?showtopic=1154.
