Beware of Phishing Emails Purporting to be from Google Adwords
There are currently Phishing emails circulating designed by hackers that claim to be from Google Adwords and asking you to log into your Adwords account. If you receive an email with a subject similar to “Google Inc – Accounts Notice”, be sure to thoroughly check the senders account details. Typically an official email from Google will contain sender@google.com, but the phishing emails look something like this support@googleaccountsupport.com.
If you are unsure as to the origins of an email, it’s best to delete it and check with your Adwords professional or log into your Google Adwords account and check the notifications section.
