Re: Google AdWords Alert (Scam)

Latest BS spam scam. The .RU domain and the possibility you may get this message to an email address that isn't signed up with Adwords should be enough to tip anyone off but just in case.

    I didn't have to hover the link in mine to see the .RU. It came just the way I posted it (except I nulled the active link so people don't go clicking on it)

    These a-holes are either too cheap or stupid to either get a .COM or properly anchor text their links to hide their BS .RU extension (Maybe I shouldn't have said that - don't wanna give these dim wits any ideas)

    Jag offs.

    As I've said in previous threads, I delete the email and go login to my accounts to check. These people should be savaged both legally and physically.

    I just received one as well.

    In my case it ended up in the Spam folder where it belongs.

    I've recieved quite a few of them - which I find highly amusing as I don't use adwords!

    I like to keep an open mind, but not so open that my brains fall out
