Frank, I received a similar e-mail from yahoo recently amd I simply ignored it and nothing came of it – my e-mail address was not deleted. I suggest you ignore it also. God bless.

Frank, i did not receive any notice like that, most likely a fake.
Its a scam…I received one similar for twitter.
Hi Frank. It certainly seems pretty fishy. You rattle enough cans and someone is bound to notice. Just keep your eye on that one & be careful. God bless.

Frank,
I also recieved such an e-mail.
My response was that I would not give any information to them without a written authorized request.
I have not received a response from the sender.
I would ignore this request.

Hi there,
If you ever get a request like this you can guarantee its 100% fake. All email providers have information on when you login, and it is this that they use to determine what accounts to get rid of. Different email providers have different policies, but with gmail i believe you can leave your account inactive for 9 months, then after that they will delete it.
A legit email from the real provider will never ask for password, etc!!! Don’t respond!
Sounds like everyone is giving you that advice.
Hope all is well.
Dear Frank,
You have been a blessing to me and to so many thousands of people and the devil is not happy – this is one of his ways to get your password so that he can confuse others.
God will give you the decernment and know that we are praying for you.
Blessings,

Hi Frank,
Don’t respond to the email. I’ve seen these before… they’re called Phishing emails. They look real real but companies will never send you a email asking for you password(s). Hope this helps.
Yes this is a fake.
