Google Adwords phishing


A few days ago, I received following mail in my inbox:

As the chance is small that Google would send such an e-mail to its customers, I decided to have a closer look at the links inside this message.

If you look at the html-source of the e-mail, you can see that it is not linking to google but to a site somewhere in China. (http://www.adwords.google.com.wwwgroup.cn/select/Login) Some further research shows that this domainname is owned by a certain "Mister gfdthy", so it would not be wise to pass your login details to these guys :)

Domain Name: wwwgroup.cn
ROID: 20081120s10001s66930159-cn
Domain Status: clientHold
Registrant Organization: gfdthy
Registrant Name: hrthhtfhrth
