STONES CORNER: * GOOGLE ADWORDS SCAM

My Prestigious Followers

Beware of the new scam thats targeting adsense account users. Seen below is the screen print of the email i received from the scammer. As you may all notice nothing looks unusual or suspecting and it is drafted very professionally. But when i got to the credit card part, i suspected this is a scam and as I suspected this is indeed spam.

when you click on the link provided in the mail your brower will open up this page. Huh,,,,so what this is the google adwords page (as some of you may think) OK I wont argue with you. The URL clearly says "http://adwords.google.com.session.blah blah blah....)

Ok guys you gotta think smarter than the scammer. Scroll to the end of the address in the URL and you will be suprised to see that its a page with domain (.ru) Just not to make it clearly visible to you the scammer included some useless numbers and words in between.

Ok still want to try out more...enter some thing in the login box with a fake password and click the sign in button. Nothing happens. Thats what you think. Enter again and wait. Still nothing happens. Not exactly..each time you hit the sign in button you send your google email and your password to the scammer who has full access of your account now. Very sad isnt it.

But most people dont notice this and they hit the link "I cannot access my account" which will redirect you to the original google site where you log in normally without even knowing that your account details have been compromised.
