Google's official URL shortcut (update: or Google Workspace's domain verification, see bottom), is compromised. People are actively having their Google accounts stolen. (gist.github.com)

I don't use google workspace. Is it normal that they call you about stuff? For me that would be the first red flag and I'd just not pick up.

It is not normal to speak to a real person at Google, no

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Yeah, that should've been the real red flag.

I have talked to a real person at google a number of times in the past related to pixel support, as well as a few other topics. But it was YEARS ago. Just like every other company, it has gotten harder and harder to speak to a real person.

One time they had phone tech support for Google music many years ago and it was surreal to talk to someone at Google

You can barely talk to someone at google if you're a paying customer and try to call them. No way they're calling you.
