Received this email from Google:
Lisa,
Someone recently tried to use an application to sign in to your Google Account. We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt:

IP Address: 66.87.73.54 (spcsdns.net)
Location: Blaine, MN, USA
If you do not recognize this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately. f this was you, and you want to give this application access to your account, complete the troubleshooting steps listed at <xxxxxxx>
Sincerely,
The Google Accounts Team
I changed the password and tightened up the accounts by ensuring the 2 step verification process (unique to Gmail accts) is ON. Sometimes it can be a hassle but worth it now that the scamsters are on the warpath.
