Is the new influx of "Google AdWords Account Verification Email" I've been getting phishing?

So far, I’ve received 3 in 2 days. Is this another phishing scheme like “Fifth Third Bank” and other “bank account verification” emails? Or is it legitimate?

If they’re asking for any personal information that Google already has, then yes. Don’t click on any of their links. I would check out your Google account for a “help” contact email and forward this to them if you’re not totally sure about it.

Good idea, Mamradpivo. I’ll do that.
