    Important Legal Notice Regarding Your Google AdWords Account

    Surely more users use AdWords and therefor received this email:
    This court-ordered notice may affect your legal rights. Please read it carefully. If you purchased online advertising from Google between January 1, 2002 and the present, you are a class member in a class-action lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Miller County, Arkansas. This notice is to inform you of the Court’s certification of a class; the nature of the claims alleged; your right to participate in, or exclude yourself from, the class; a proposed settlement; and how you can claim an award of advertising credits under the settlement. Please read the attached notice.
    I've been in contact with Google and they've confirmed it is real:
    Thank you. This email is legitimate.

    Personally I have no interest to participate in this, but my initial reaction was 'this is spam: CLICK'.. I am sure more legal notices mailed to me have ended up in the spambox.

              So, there's some way we can get free advertising credits by participating? I need to look up the story behind it... did Google mess up somehow?

                    No, because I don't have adwords active, so they can't know my domain. And the domain I have written down for adwords is whois protected.

                      I received and deleted it right away.

                      I also thought it was just spam.

                      Oh well, I have no interest in it anyway.

                        the funny thing is google though it was spam. I have most of my email go though gmail account, and google put it in the spam folder.
