Beware of fake Domain Suspension Notice emails that claim to be sent from Google (Google Inc.). The emails usually target domain owners who have domain names registered by Google Domains.
The fraudulent email message claims that Google has suspended your domain for a violation of the Google Inc. Abuse Policy. However, this is not true. The email is used to spread malware and is in no way associated with Google Inc. and Google Domains.
The email states that multiple warnings were sent by Google Inc. Spam and Abuse Department to give you an opportunity to address the complaints they received and that they did not receive a reply from you.
The message claims that they no choice but to suspend your domain name when you did not respond to their alleged attempts to contact you.
The email contains a link to download a “copy of complaints” they received. The downloadable file is actually dangerous and can spread malware across your computer – so don’t click the link in the email. The link will place several malicious application type files in different areas on your computer.
