I received an email telling me I need to update/confirm my Google Adwords account & credit card details and I can't believe I was totally taken in by what is a scam - hook, line & sinker!
As I use them and as Google often change things and ask you to confirm information I clicked to go to the site - luckily a huge warning of a scam courtesy of my browser told me to go no further - and when I went back to the email and did what I should have done -
read it - it was quite obviously a scam!!!
Be careful guys! Here is a copy of the email...
