I am currently getting a spate of phishing spam purporting to be from Google Adsense warning about security levels of browsers.

I know most people here know enough to ignore these nuisances, this is just a quick heads-up to everyone to keep an eye out for these when it's so easy to click on an email that looks like it's about something important to us.

I get them from adwords once a week or so... my account has been disabled and I need to login and verify my information(s) [sic] in order for it to be restored.

Broken English, mispelled words and poor formatting. If I was going to try to scam someone, I'd put a bit more effort into it.

The German language is a very good scam proteciton.

Most scamers tring to sent emails in German make so much grammatical errors, impossible to reach with this poor German a position in a bank to write emails.
