Got this email today, except the link really goes to some site in China:

###########################################
[Sorry, no email quotes as per TOS.]

[To paraphrase, the email pretended to be from Adwords and threatened suspension of the advertiser's account unless their payment information was updated. It provided a phony link for that which really went to some site in China.]

In recent weeks there have been a lot of phishing attempts which pretend to be from Adwords.

Webmasters beware!

Thanks for truncating it, I wasn't aware of that rule.
