Seems like someone is trying to hack some Google Adwords accounts by stolen some
info, sending massive emails asking for some kind of account verification.
The email looks similar to this one:
“Your ads appear beside related search results… People click your ads… And connect to your business
This is a courtesy reminder that your Google AdWords account needs to be verified.
In order to receive uninterrupted service, please verify your information immediately.
To verify your account, please click the link below and proceed to the login page:
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin
We thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Please understand that this is a security measure intended to help protect you and your account.
Sincerely, Google AdWords “
The email comes from google-xc.com, don’t need to say it’s a fake site.
DO NOT enter any kind of info, as they will use it to steal your account.
Beware and spread the world about it, whether posting on your blog or tweeting / stumbling / digging / or whatever you use / this post.
Thanks for reading.

Good job alerting people. The more people who are made aware of this then the less chances of these scammers getting anything out off it.
