Dear Google Adwords Customer!

Scam artists are always looking for a way to rip off cash from someone else. The most recent trick is aimed at business people who use Google AdWords. Users will receive an Email purporting to be from an official representative of Google, however the language used is not very Google-like and itself is a giveaway.

However, it often fools people who are newer to the web, but it needn't be that way. Many people don't understand URLs and it can cause a problem.

The first thing that can get you into trouble is not paying attention. Even a smart person can be tricked into giving up their login and password.

You must realise that anyone can pretend to be a trusted email sender, creating a message that looks legitimate, from someone you know and trust. There are a few things the tricksters still can't do. They don't know how Google refers to you.

> They will never address you "Dear Google AdWords Customer!"
