Get reading for SMiShing?

I received my first phishing attempt via text message today. Apparently that’s called SMiShing, and it’s a thing. Sadly, I’m too busy to have the guy follow up with his promised phone call to try to get my Gmail password from me, but I did take a moment and report it to 7726, just in case that’ll do good to help protect somebody else in the future.
Also, apparently I have a G-Email account. Is that the kind of email account you get from the company who used to own NBC?
