This message was automatically sent to the SPAM folder…, by G-Mail.
I tried to find information on this particular message…, with very little in the way of search results…, but it does not sound like a proper message from Avast…, basically issuing an ultimatum…, with bizarre link addresses…, so I thought that I would describe this message in detail…, and ask for input…, on the validity or confirmation it is SPAM…, so others can find some information…, if they also receive the same message.
So…, is it SPAM…, or is it Real…? :o
