Google Adsense

This is a example on how the email looks like when you receive it. If you pay close attention, it looks like a real legit email but the links included in the email lead to a different site which will ask you for you account details, but in reality you will be sending it to the malware authors.

URLs might seem legit because they start with a domain such as http://www.google.com. Queries with Google can redirect using http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.volkdefense.com redirect query and then Google would redirect to Volk Defense. Emails are not always safe, emails like these have been using the url to lure people in to scams.

Watch out for this email going around as it has scammed many members. If you should encounter a email like this please submit it to us via the contact form. Watch out for this and always remember that Google Adsense does not ask for sensitive information as they have the information already (since they are the account creators). Never send out sensitive information via email. Make sure where the URL is safe and doesn't redirect.
