Your Google Adwords Account is About to Expire

Here is another scam that has been going around recently.
You get an email that appears to be coming from Google telling you your Adwords account needs to be updated or they will have to close it. Usually, having to do with payment on your credit card not going through. It first made rounds a few months back but I have been seeing it alot again.
If you get one of these emails – delete it. If you have any doubts as to whether it is legit and you do have an Adwords account, go to your account the normal way you would – via bookmark or typing the URL in the address bar, for example – and NOT via the URL this scam email gives you. After logging in to your actual account, you can check you account settings to verify all is running well.
