Google has confirmed the discovery of a large email phishing scam attempt on their Google AdWords customers over the last few days.
People have been receiving emails titled “We stopped running on your Google ads this morning”. Below is a copy of the email that’s been going around:
These fraudulent emails ask users to update billing details, edit their account, take action on disapproved ads or even accept new AdWords terms and conditions. These phishing emails are falsly appearing to be from adwords-noreply@google.com.
REMEMBER: the Google AdWords team never sends unsolicited emails to users asking for you password or other sensitive information by email or through a link.
If you do feel you need to change your account information, such as your password, always do this by logging into the account from the main AdWords login page: www.adwords.google.com.
