Hi

Received a phishing email supposedly from Google Adwords entitled "Google AdWords : Ads have stopped running today".

Really well executed campaign.

If you click through on the email to the site, it is an excellent replica of the Google Adwords site.

So just to warn people that if they receive this, it is a phishing attack.

Cheers
Derek

I got the same Email last night.

I use McAfee which usually detects these type of Phishing Emails, but it never spotted it.

Just shows that you can't put all your trust in Virus Software.
