Be aware that the following email is now doing the rounds.
As with all phishing activities this purports to be a genuine communication from Google, but this has no foundation, and should be junked along with all others of its type.
As ever, only ever log into your Google Adwords accout via a bookmarked URL on your computer. Never respoind to an email asking you to verify your account details, or click on links on emails sent to you. This most definitely applies to emails sent to a non Google Adwords account address – these are 100% junk emails.
This is what the email header, and subsequent first few lines of the email say. I can assure readers that I haven’t won £450, 000 (more’s the pity)
