Is there any e-mail address to report this?

 

[Theo]

Is the actual link a phishing destination?

http://adwords.google.com.something in China/select/Login/

Yes. Here it is.

 

[Theo]

Ouch. You need to edit that out!

Sorry, didn't know that was a no-no. Hard to believe I'm the first one to get this.

I clicked on the link, firefox alerted about this phishing, great protection..

internet explorer says :

This is a reported phishing website

Internet Explorer has determined that this is a reported phishing website. Phishing websites impersonate other sites and attempt to trick you into revealing personal or financial information.

We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.

...

It seems they already took action

Good going Firefox. I didn't hit the link, but I use Firefox. Maybe someone can track these ..... down.

Yes, I got that email a couple of days ago... link was to a .cn site, if I remember correctly.
It doesn't matter who it's from.. Any "update your information" email is a phishing attempt in my experience. Even if genuine, always use you normal bookmarks, (or typein) to log into the service in question, never click on any email link that requires you to log in or give any other information.

You all know how to set up your e-mail accounts as a 'catch-all' account, right?

I forward these to [email protected], [email protected], or similar.

The daily scam. Got this one about 5 times in 24 hours.

Dearest Friend,

I have Paid the fee for your Cheque Draft.but the manager of Eko Bank Benin told me that before the check will get to you that it will expire.

So i told him to cash $850,000.00 all the necessary arrangement of delivering the $850,000.00 in cash was made with FEDEX COURIER COMPANY.

This is the information you need to contact them to deliver your package to you.
