    Dear [name here],

    To celebrate Microsoft adCenter's 2nd Anniversary, we'd like to give you some free clicks.

    Simply send in an existing campaign you've got with Google AdWords-and our support team will upload it for you.

    We'll then give you up to £40 worth of Anniversary clicks absolutely free*.

    All of which will save you time and money, as well as bring you some of the best converting traffic on the web.

    Hi
    Isn’t this a bit selfish to followers of yourself whom aren’t currently using google adwords! I much prefer adcenter, though I am currently having website fully developed, I find it quite bad to me and my friends who want to use adcenter but who don’t use adwords right now, is that not a kick in the teeth for us! So you will promote and reward all fellow google users, but not your own?
    Regards,
    [me]

    This seems odd, it would make more sense for msn to provide their users with £40 worth
    of adcenter clicks, rather than adsense :confused:

    Check your emails "headers" for the IP address, they are probably false, ie, not where you think it's from.

    It's probably a scam so someone can get access to your google account and change the details then lock you out, same as the bank account fishing scams of which i get about 20+ a day fishing for login details.

    Just delete the email and forget about it :) happens often.

    The interweb is often not a safe place :)

    Sorry, another what are you talking about:

    #1 Its not to do with google adwords or logging in there, read the post.

    #2 Its genuine and its from msn, have spoke to them about it.

    email source - Microsoft adCenter <info@msmedia.microsoft.com>

    But wouldn't it be funny that adCenter is actually offering vouchers valid to be used on their main competitor (adwords) instead? I mean why not they use the fund to promote their own business? Obviously something fishy here.

    I've never seen so many dumb comments in a single thread before!

    @bacardirum, I also received this email. The only problem I have with it is the link at the bottom where it says *Terms and conditions apply takes you to their PPC homepage rather than their T&C.

    Have you or anybody had any luck with this?
