The gmail phisher is an attempt to gain private information by masquerading as a request from gmail asking you for your account information. Though the request will appear to be from gmail it is in fact not and any information gained from you can potentially be used in identity theft.
No matter how much you trust an email source never click on a link in an email asking for account information. If you think the request is legitimate go directly to the site itself, log in and see if they are, in fact, requesting and updated information from you.
