    I suppose they think people won't notice the "0" that was used in place of the "o" in Adwords.

    Those been around for at least a few months. I almost got snookered. Luckily, I'm always logged into Google so I don't have to click any links. There are other ones out there that tell you re-enter your credit card info.
