Reporting SCAMS/SPAM to Google
Dec 3, 2020 09:09:38 #
Reporting SCAMS and SPAM to Gmail has always been a long, drawn out experience since one had to fill out a form that demanded your e-mail address, the e-mail address of the SCAMMER/SPAMMER plus th e-mail headers and the full content of the message.
Just recently I have been receiving SCAMS and SPAMS via Google Forms and reporting these is a simple, one click process. You just click on one of the five options and submit:
Google Forms
Type of abuse:
Nudity
Promotes hatred, violence or illegal/offensive activities
Spam, malware or "phishing" (fake login)
Private and confidential information
Copyright infringement
Our policy on spam, malware and 'phishing' (fake login)
We do not allow spamming or content that transmits viruses, causes pop-ups, attempts to install software with the user's consent, or otherwise affects users with malicious code or scripts. We also do not allow phishing activity.

Now I wonder why Google isn't able to do this for non-Google Forms?
