Be Aware: A Fraud site pretending as Google to Seal password.

    Today I have received an email asking to insert Google account password . May be some of you have also received this email as well. Use extreme caution and DO NOT SHARE OR INSERT your password to this email.

    http://adwords.google.select.starte.../OSL.htm?LOB=1424951071&refer=erTf9JxOZsZamBq

    It is a fraud site and take all necessary action against them. They will steal your password and hijack your Adword and Adsense reputation.



    The Email header is as follows :

    I have seen many such spam emails. I suggest no one click and login through links in emails. Always use your bookmarks to open adwords, adsense etc

    Its better to login to your google account by typing the link in the address bar and never click the links in emails. Also there are softwares which could alter the bookmark links.So be carefull!

    I have also seen a lot of spam emails trying to take advantage of ancient account owners, so the best advice:
    Don't click on links in your emails even if it seems from a trusted source instead:
    Open a new window browser or a new frame, then type the URL as it is, and click on browse / go.

    Thanks dear for this information!
    We really need to be careful about all this spam mails. The best thing you can do now to punish them is to forward this mail to Google customer support.
