There is a real simple solution besides not using Gmai.  Do NOT link your smart phone to your google account.  This is the window that they are using to get at you.  Be smart and realize that a company will not contact you by email do to something unless you authorize it first.  Do not open attachments, etc from people, companies that you did not specifically ask for the attachment from.  Social Engineering is what phishing ( fishing ) is called.  They attempt to trick you into doing their work for them however if you are smart and aware of what is going on you can defend successfully.

I agree wit DW on this This type of stuff has been going on forever back in the early computer days I forget but somewhere in the mid 90's email became a popular way to communicate and there always was some predator out there but most people knew to be aware and not trust anything that you could not identify. Rules are the same today except the crooks are smarter best way to treat emails and other messages is like you do at home if someone knocks on your door that you do not know you do not invite them in same with a email if you do not know who it is from or it does not look right or makes sense delete it !
