I recieved an email that looked very ligitimate but realized it was a scam were someone was phishing when I took a closer look at the link address. The following was the email I recieved.
((DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW AS IT IS A FAKE))

If you right click on the link and look at the properties of the link you will see that the hyperlink does not actually go to
Google but instead goes to http://www.adwords.google.com.akneg.cn/select/Login. (Notice the .akneg.cn which is the true destination)
Here is yet another reason why you should never click on a link in an email.!!
