Gmail reports phishing

Here is the title received today a letter from Microsoft, received in my inbox.
The "Learn More" link leads to the Gmail help page . Despite the fact that this page was updated on October 14th, this feature did not skip on Habré, and I hadn’t come across it before. Exposure:
Google is currently testing a service designed to alert users to messages that look like phishing scams. When Gmail employees find out about such an attack, detailed information about these messages will be used in the future to automatically detect possible phishing attacks.

Result: when a Gmail user opens a message that may be fraudulent, Gmail displays a warning.

Phishing alerts work in Gmail automatically, like spam filtering. Spam filters in Gmail automatically translate messages that are supposedly unwanted into the Spam folder. Similarly, Gmail's phishing alert system automatically displays warnings about messages that are supposedly phishing attacks so that users are attentive when providing personal information.

If the letter (as, for example, in my case) was unjustifiably blamed, we can report the absence of phishing:

and then move the letter from spam to the inbox.
Interestingly, all links in a suspicious letter are blocked.

PS By the way, the letter’s heading , by the way, cannot be said that something is wrong there (correct me if I read them incorrectly :)).
