    Google Adwords phising scam

    Here is one I haven't seen before.
    Dear Google AdWords customer!

    In order to confirm your contact details, please click the link below:

    Google AdWords Form <http://www.google.com.ziake10.co.uk/accounts/VE/?service=adwords&c= (long number)>

    This should take you directly to the Google AdWords Form.

    Thank you for choosing AdWords. We look forward to providing you with the most effective advertising available.

    Sincerely,

    The Google AdWords Team
    Folks. Remember when it come to domains, you need to work from the back end. In this case google.com is a subdomain of ziake10.co.uk, and Google just doesn't work that way.

    Looking at how this might benefit the phiser, it's not just about getting your bank login details anymore. I would be wary of similar ploys coming for other forms of online accounts you might have.
    Participation is voluntary.
