This is a completely real notice with absolutely none of the hallmarks of actual spam. The chances of this being a legitimate false positive are just about zero.
Google’s spam filter is absolute trash, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if it’s a false positive. Everyone loves Google’s spam filter, cause they hardly ever see spam, but that’s because it’s incredibly aggressive, and constantly makes false positives.
If you mark everything as spam, you’ll catch all the spam, right?
I remember email before Gmail's spam filter.
I'd get 20 emails a day and 15 of them would have various misspellings of knob pills in the subject. The rest would be pump and dump stock scams.
It's not just Google unfortunately, Yahoo & Hotmail/Outlook are even worse.
Yes. Google's spam filter is one of the best there is. It's possible to train a better bespoke one if you control your own email, but provide one for free for all your users? Nobody's ever done that better. And just imagine the amount of spam and grift that hits Gmail on the whole.
I remember the time before learning filters (turn of the 2000s). It was hopeless. (I also remember the time before spam email. It was hopeful.)
