title: Google purgeGmail script script suddenly turns up in my inbox with the status failed - what are my next steps?
body: <p>My original question was asked in google's support forum (<a href="https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=footer#!msg/gmail/0t_T1zvYzJQ/xCPLQXpYBQAJ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=footer#!msg/gmail/0t_T1zvYzJQ/xCPLQXpYBQAJ</a>), then redirected to their dev support (<a href="https://developers.google.com/apps-script/support" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/apps-script/support</a>) which finally redirects to this site when clicked on "Ask a question". So please don't blame me for asking this question here.</p>
  
  <p>Please refer to the first link above for my question. It contains a lot of details and 2 screenshots. I'm copy-pasting them here also but you are free to refer to that link for more details.</p>
  
  <p>I received the following email. <strong>However, I don't recognize this "script" or what it means. I wasn't trying to run a "purgeGmail" script.</strong> Any idea what this email means or should be my next steps?</p>

  <p>I checked my account activity and found nothing suspicious. I did change my password about 2 weeks back actually because I received an email alert saying "sign-in attempt was blocked - unusual activity". </p>
  
  <p>However, I'm not sure whether this "purgeGmail" script is a default script gone haywire or is it some kind of custom script setup by someone. If it's a custom script then I'm going to delete it. </p>
  
  <p>When I goto script.google.com it shows me <strong>"Triggers for script Copy of Gmail Purge - Digital Inspiration" > 4 options underneat - initialize, install, uninstall, purgeGmail.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Not sure how this ended up in my account. I would like to report this to the authorities so that they can take down this script. But I'm not seeing any link or option to report it to the authorities. <strong>(1) Any idea where I need to report it?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>(2) Also, any idea whether this is a default script or custom script?</strong> If it's custom I'm going to delete it. I click the cross icon. The heading still remains but the 4 options are gone. Then there is a save button. I'm not sure whether I should click that save button. The UI just sucks for this whole thing. </p>
  
  <p>Here's a screenshot for this whole thing. I'm guessing you can open this pic in a new window so that it shows the actual size. Just right-click "open image in new tab" or download and open should work as on most websites.</p>
