Alert: You have received a file via Google Drive for documents

This morning I received a couple of emails with the subject 'You have received a file via Google Drive for documents'. I don't recall seeing this type of scam email message before. The email contains a link which does not take you to a Google site. If you check the link (don't click on it) you'll see where the link would take you. In my case the link is to a domain ending in .co.za. This is a scam to get you to log into Google docs and in the process you end up providing your email address and password.

You should delete emails like this. As always do not click on links in emails you receive without first thoroughly checking out the underlying link destination. Even emails that appear to be from friends may be from scammers.
