    Yep, there are tons of such emails where in people trying to bash your adsense account. The best way to find this is just visit your site and check if ads are running. Once adsense account is disabled all ads will be ruined.
    Never click those links. Thanks...

    Hmmm... I haven't received such an email yet, but it's good to be cautious. I saw the link and the email looked so real. Need to be careful now...

    I like the Nigerian Finance Minister emails the best. Those ones i actually reply to, just to wind them up and let them think they have a fresh lead hehe
