Uma delas eh "Report Phishing". Fiquei curioso com o fato do Google
tratar o Phishing de maneira diferente do spam.
Segue o Help do Gmail falando sobre o assunto. Por enquanto eles
apenas mostrarao uma mensagem de aviso. Eu iria alem, retiraria todos
os links da mensagem.

What should I do about a message that asks for personal information?
Spam comes in a variety of forms, including fraudulent messages. This
mass-messaging is called 'spoofing' or 'password phishing.'
Such fraudulent practices involve messages that appear to be from a
legitimate source, or the creation of an official-looking webpage that
asks you to provide your username and password or other personal
information. Such messages or pages could ask for your Social Security
number, bank account number, PIN number, credit card number, mother's
maiden name, or birthday.
Spammers often ask for this information in an attempt to steal your
Gmail account, your money, your credit, or your identity.
Google is currently testing a service designed to alert Gmail users to
messages that appear to be phishing attacks. When the Gmail Team
becomes aware of such an attack, the details of these messages are
used to automatically identify future suspected phishing attacks.
The result: when a Gmail user opens a suspected phishing message,
Gmail displays a warning.
Gmail's phishing alerts operate automatically, much like spam
filtering. Gmail's spam filters automatically divert messages that are
suspected of being unwanted messages into 'Spam'. Similarly, Gmail's
phishing alerts automatically display warnings with messages that are
suspected of being phishing attacks so that users know to take care
before providing any personal information.
You should always be wary of any message that asks for your personal
information, or messages that refer you to a webpage asking for
personal information. If you receive this type of message, especially
from a source claiming to be Google or Gmail, please do not provide
the information requested.
Here's what you can do to protect yourself and stop fraudsters:
Make sure the URL domain on the given page is correct, and click on
any images and links to verify that you are directed to proper pages
within the site. For example, the Gmail URL is http://mail.google.com/
or, for even more security, https://mail.google.com/. Although some
links may appear to contain 'gmail.com,' you may be redirected to
another site after entering such addresses into your browser.
Always look for the closed lock icon in the status bar at the bottom
of your browser window whenever you enter any private information,
including your password.
Check the message headers. The 'From:' field is easily manipulated to
show a false sender name. Learn how to view headers.
If you're still uncertain, contact the organization from which the
message appears to be sent. Don't use the reply address in the
message, since it can be forged. Instead, visit the official website
of the company in question, and find a different contact address.
If you enter your account or personal information as the result of a
spoof or phishing message, take action quickly. Send a copy of the
message header and the entire text of the message to the Federal Trade
Commission at [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you entered credit card or bank account
numbers, contact your financial institution. If you think you may be
the victim of identity theft, contact your local police.
Gmail doesn't send unsolicited mass messages asking for passwords or
personal information. If you think your Gmail account has been
compromised, contact us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please include the
header of the suspicious message and the entire message text.
* If our system flags a message as phishing, but you've validated the
source from which the message originated, click 'Report Not Phishing'
to let us know the message is legitimate. And if you receive a message
that our phishing detection system doesn't pick up on, click 'Report
Phishing' to send a copy of the message to the Gmail Team
