Google sends me a warning that isn't related to me?

    So google sends me an email saying that I'm violating their TOS with a website that is totally not related to me. The site has downloads for pirated software and etc. So I look up the domain, get the NS and registrar. That domain in question is in no way related to me and I'm asking myself if the email was a fake?

    You guys experienced anything similar to this?

    I did not received such, you should be able tell whether the mail is fake or not from the mail header.

    Go to your adsense account> Adsense Setup> Allowed Sites... And select: Only allow certain sites to display ads for my account.

    Then save changes, hope that will help you...!

    Thanx!

    They have finally replied!!! They said it was their fault for sending me the unrelated email. That's odd. Well all is well so thank goodness!
