Nick received a very official looking security alert about a subpoena allegedly issued to Google by law enforcement to information contained in Nick's Google account. A URL in the email pointed Nick to a sites.google.com page that looked like an exact copy of the official Google support portal.

Yep, and here is what they suggest you do

How to avoid scams like this

• Don't follow links in unsolicited emails or on unexpected websites
• Carefully look at the email headers when you receive an unexpected mail
• Verify the legitimacy of such emails through another, independent method
• Don't use your Google account (or Facebook for that matter) to log in at other sites and services. Instead create an account on the service itself.
