Just almost fell for a pretty good looking Google Adwords scam.

I didnt check the link properly in the email and clicked to update my details:



Dear GoogleAdwords Customer,

In order to update your billing information, please sign in to your AdWords account at [URL REMOVED] and update your billing information. Your account will be reactivated as soon as you have entered your payment details. Your ads will show immediately if you decide to pay for clicks via credit or debit card. If you decide to pay by direct debit, we may need to receive your signed debit authorization before your ads start running, depending on your location. If you choose bank transfer, your ads will show as soon as we receive your first payment. (Payment options vary by location.)

Thank you for choosing AdWords. We look forward to providing you with the most effective advertising available.

It takes you to a pretty good copy of Google Adwords, I didnt pickup on it until it asked me to enter my PIN number for my card...

Fuck knows if it managed to do anything without me sending the details. First time for me to fall for one.. :grrr:
