Phishing Warning if you have a Google Adwords Account

Filed under: General, IT support, Phishing warnings — nigel @ 11:22 am

Beware of this e-mail that seems to be circulating and targeting those who use Google Adwords.  It is not from Google and so please do not follow the links or give them any details

Hello,

Our attempt to charge your credit card for your
outstanding Google AdWords account balance was declined.
Your account is still open. However, your ads have been suspended. Once
we are able to charge your card and receive payment for your account
balance, we will re-activate your ads.

Please update your billing information, even if you plan to use the
same credit card. This will trigger our billing system to try charging
your card again. You do not need to contact us to reactivate your
account.

To update your primary payment information, please follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account at http://adwords.google.com/Select/Login.
2. Enter your new or updated billing information.
6. Click ‘Update’ when you have finished.

In the future, you may wish to use a backup credit card in order to
help ensure continuous delivery of your ads. You can add a backup
credit card by visiting your Billing Preferences page or visit the
AdWords Help Centre for more details:

providing you with the most effective advertising available.

Sincerely,

The Google AdWords Team

  2. Life would be much easier without them, but then there would be less of a requirement for IT support companies!
