Your classmate receives the following email in their inbox and is about to reply before they ask you to take a look at it. Help them identify the signs that this is a "phishing attack" instead of a real Google support email. You can simply type the list below of every "clue" you find or screenshot the email and draw / sketch on it to label the clues. Either way, it's your job to clear identify as many red flags or clues as you can.
