Google Adwords Phishing

Google Impostors Phishing Adwords

I have noticed several phishing attempts along with a colleague, Alex Rothaus, from some Google impostors. After contacting our Google representatives this morning, they confirmed that those emails were not authentic. If you receive ANY emails from “Google AdWords” or any a similar source, claiming a payment was not processed and asking you to click on a link to resolve the issue, do not click on that link. Just forward the email to Google help through your webmasters account if you have one.

The emails look legit, but Google will never ask you to click on a link, they will just give you instructions to go to Adwords.

Here are some screenshots from phishing emails we received this morning:

If you noticed the same, get the word out and let us know.

Happy Thursday
