hey gang,
I just felt that I should maybe warn you, as I received crafted emails that looked just a little bit suspicious from adwords.
This is one of those messages:

I never click a link in an email.
Never!
And you too should not.
Looking in thunderbird what the link was really pointing to, I've ssen that the url was: www . adwords . google . com . sliklikn . cn
Of course, I provided a false login...
But the web page looked real. I had not been warned before, I would have entered my real informations.
Today, the link is reported as a phishing site, but it was not the case yesterday, when I received the 1st mail.
Just a reminder to look up where you put your mouse...
