I've recently started getting messages from names I've never seen before with subjects telling me that they shared a Google doc with me.
I've been assuming they're spam and deleting them unread; but am wondering what exactly they're trying to do:
0) Faking being from Google and linking to attack sites?
1) Putting spam in a Google doc file itself?
2) Something else entirely?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

No - that forum is only for reporting spam or abuse on CodeProject. You can't expect the hamsters to deal with every bit of spam on the internet!

I thought they where 'THAT' good. Guess not
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

That doesn't look like what I've been getting. These messages are either being sent by google using their share tools (or forged in a way that Google isn't catching on to); not links to a fake google login page.

That's the point - these are fake Google login pages, hosted on Google's own site, and shared using Google's own tools.
It's not going to fool anyone with an IQ larger than the waistband of their trousers, but that still leaves quite a large part of the internet.

I'd hope that most people here would still satisfy the "IQ > waistband" condition.

In that case, you linked to the wrong example. It's talking about a phishing email that pretends to be from google but links to pwndserver.com/fakelogin.htm; not something malicious hosted in google's cloud.

Magic and "newbieness" aside, what is the deal with deep web? has anyone surfed many non-indexed sites? does it really have that much useful info?

Suppose that all of the content here on CodeProject was created as the result of inputs from the user; so they type in a couple of words and a whole new article magically appears - but it only exists for the duration of them looking at that page. That's deep web - it's useful content, but it cannot be indexed by the search engines because there's nothing there for them to link to. If, that page was meaningful and relevant, then it would be useful, but it would be lost to time.

Perfect example, thanks.... In a few lines you made more sense than most news I've read about.
It's a bit annoying to see so many places talking about it as if it was some other reality where the most amazing(or disturbing) things can be found.

Another example might be Search results (eg. Google or Bing). You can't really index the search results as they are dynamically generated. And only exist while you're looking at it (if they show meaningful content is often up for discussion )
