Just for your information I am receiving a lot of emails looking like
they come from google but containing urls to phishing sites. These
look like genuine emails with subjects like:

Your AdWords Google Account is stoped
Account Reactivation
Please submit your payment information

and the content looks like emails I've had from google before  but if
you look carefully at the url they take you to they are like:

http://adwords.google.XXXXX/select/Login

where XXXXX is not .com.

Don't be suckered into logging in to those sites as you will be giving
away your adwords account username/password.

Hello Martin,

Thanks very much for the heads up - I really like and support the idea
of community members watching out for each other.

In the same breath, I wanted to mention the following page from the
AdWords Help Center - on which the email address to report 'phishing'
emails may be found:

 * What do I do if I receive a suspicious email claiming to be from
AdWords?
https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=93198

Thanks again,
