Google Scam Alert - Be Careful!

So I tried calling gmail customer support today. If you type in "gmail customer support" into google, an awful lot of phone numbers come up. This is a red flag to me now, but I tried calling one of them to get an issue sorted out. When I called them, they tried to convince me that someone had hacked into my gmail account and tried to make me pay for security. I never got an email saying that someone else tried to hack in to my account I ALWAYS get an email. BS! I hung up right in the middle of the conversation because I know Google would never try and do that. He wouldn't even help me with the problem until the security was paid for. Be careful and do not use this site for gmail customer support! Also be careful if people over the phone try to make you pay for something.
