Karen's Blog - Adwords Phishing Emails

Wednesday, April 09, 2008

It never fails to amaze me the amount of spam I get in my inbox. The latest thing seems to be these Google Adwords phishing emails. I’m currently getting between 20 and 50 of these a week and they do look remarkably similar to genuine emails from Google. The emails ask you to either reactivate your account or change your credit details. The site you are redirected to looks genuine and could easily fool people. The purpose of the exercise is obviously to collect your account details so that unscrupulous people can steal your credit card details. Don’t be fooled.
