Google Adwords Phishing Scam

derek — Sat, 17 May 2008 11:16:08 +1000

We recently received an email asking us to to update our Google AdWords. This is clearly a phishing scam that has nothing to do with Google. This makes a change from the regular banking or eBay ones we get.

The link says http://adwords.google.com/select/login while it really points to http://www.adwords.google.com.0lks.cn/select/Login. Note the extra bit in the URL.

Don't get caught out.

The message reads below.

A brochure site is a basic web presence. It may be 1 or 2 pages, a page that explains the nature of your business and a contact page. This is perfect to get your name out there and to tell potential customers about your services. These days, everybody expects a business to have a web site.

A brochure site may be just the thing to get you started.

Content Management Systems

Content Management Systems or CMS are software systems that allow users or groups of users to update content on a web site.

Do you want to update your site regularly with new articles and information?
Will your site be updated by several users and be able to keep track of changes?
Do you want to have online product catalogues or shopping carts?
Do you want to use your site to keep a group/community of users informed?

If you answered yes to any of those questions then chances are you will need a CMS.

Basic Static Site

A basic static site consists of several pages, usually around 4 to 5 pages: home, about, services and contact. It is good for a one-way flow of information, from your site to the visitors.

This would suit a small to medium sized business that wants to give a bit more information about products and services. A basic static site is ideal for sites that update every now and again. You can make the changes yourself and upload them by FTP.

We offer 6 free updates per year for every site we design and host.
