"ROVIO".  Ring any bells? yo! the team behind the now "Cult game" ANGRY BIRDS. Now they are atlast breaking out of the Angry birds stance and avoiding oblivion by challenging new horizons.  Amazing Alex is the latest offering from ROVIO, a physics game that requires the player to apply the basics of physics to achieve the goals at every level such as knocking out something or land the ball in particular basket.

Now now why would google do that. I did my bit of research and found that there have been mails from other Ids as well . First they started with gmailteam_cs@inbox.lv, and to make it look more genuine the same mails are now sent by gteamsecurity01@gmail.com and few others.  So my dear fellas BEWARE!! do not reply to any such mails.

His overcoat soggy and wet made him feel cold. A shiver ran up his spine. He was reminded of a similar scene, but different times and a different place.
