---- MCC Phishing Emails

I got one today. It said that Google's servers had crashed and that I should check to see if my ads were running and click on the link to confirm they were working 100%.

It had me fooled for about 2 seconds. Funny to imagine that Google wouldn't know their own ads were showing and that you would manually need to confirm by clicking a link.

But the email starts with the the phrase "Your account has stopped showing ads." so I can imagine it sending some people into a panic.

This was not sent to my MCC email, but rather the e-mail for one of our accounts.
