Just an FYI:

If someone invites you to edit a file in Google Docs today, don’t open it — it may be spam from a phishing scheme that’s been spreading quickly this afternoon. As detailed on Reddit, the attack sends targets an emailed invitation from someone they may know, takes them to a real Google sign-in screen, then asks them to “continue to Google Docs.” But this grants permissions to a (malicious) third-party web app that’s simply been named “Google Docs,” which gives phishers access to your email and address book.

I know it's wrong, but when I hear about these kinds of scams , I think the Romans had an appropriate method of punishment for the perpetrators .

Enslavement? Crucifixion? A minor fine? Which one?
