Overview
- UK outlets including the Daily Mirror and Birmingham Live amplified a TikTok warning about scam emails targeting Gmail and Outlook users.
- The messages mimic new‑login alerts and urge recipients to click a link to review recent activity, which is reported to potentially expose accounts.
- Users are advised to open their email accounts directly and check security or privacy pages to review recent login attempts instead of using emailed links.
- Guidance also stresses expanding the sender details to inspect the full email address, as display names like Google or Microsoft can be spoofed.
- Commenters on the video noted the tactic has circulated for some time and said they would share the warning with less tech‑savvy relatives.
