More Google Adwords phishing emails arriving. I'm not entirely sure what the fraudsters are hoping to get out of this scam. Access to a Google Account isn't going to give much - maybe they can set up some free adverts. But Google would be able to easily work out that there's a load of fraud going on whereby UK advertisers are having adverts set up to Chinese (or whatever) websites.
I suspect then (without trying the form) that either the page downloads some form of spyware onto the unlucky victim's machine so that the fraudsters can detect banking logons, or that they ask more questions than would be expected - and gather enough information to clone identities.
The URL in this case is http://www.adwords.google.com.0lks.cn/select/Login - but I can't find anything out about that site. Here's the content, again!
