    HI all
    Be alert. Some Phishing site google-xc.com in name of Google Adwords is asking you to verify adwords account for uninterrupted service. You will notice that the link is to google-xc.com

    So, don't give your pass. Be safe. Thanks. BTW the subject they use is "courtesy reminder".:)

    If i get anything from google paypal or banks i just delete the email. If they need to contact you they will show it when you log in or call or write you.

    Yes, do not give up on this phishing scam. Just ignore any fishy emails or requests.
