While spam is usually harmless, phishing is a malicious intent to obtain sensitive information by disguising a message as coming from a trustworthy website, person, or company.
Please see more information about spam and how to report it here: https://oit.ncsu.edu/my-it/email-calendaring/spam/
If you receive a phishing message, do not reply to it. Instead, please report it to Google Mail as follows:
1. Open the Gmail message you’d like to report.
2. At the top-right corner of the message, click on the More icon (three vertical dots).
3. From the list that opens, select Report Phishing.
