If you are making money from Google Adsense, you should be aware that “Account Disabled” from Google Adsense team delivered to your inbox is always a nightmare. That means the hell will come you live with Adsense and earned majority from Google. However, this scam message sometimes come to email not from Google, from other persons that we usually call scammer/hacker. So, please be careful when you got this type of message!
I have just read a message from SEroundatable reporting that he and many other blogger had received a same message from Google Adsense Team email saying that their accounts were disabled. The message in the photos below looks similar to the default message when Google terminated any account that you can easily search around on the internet.
Here is the image of the message captured by SEroundtable:
The owner has explored and has deeply looked into the code and found out that this is a real scam:
(1) The source showed a few things, but here is one item that jumps out at me:
Received-SPF: softfail (google.com: domain of transitioning adsense-adclicks-noreply@google.com does not designate 64.26.60.146 as permitted sender) client-ip=64.26.60.146;
(2) The email had an attached HTML file, when you open the source of that file (which I don’t recommend most people do), it has a redirect to a non Google domain (phishing site):
(3) I checked if my ads were displaying and if I had any message in my AdSense console and I did not.
So, it is clear now. Thanks SEroundtable to figure out this issue. If you have accidentally receive this type of message in your inbox, please disregard and DON’T CLICK on any hyperlinks inserted in the message as this can be harmful to your computer.
Good luck to you all. You can read the original article at SEroundtable blog here.

Oh, yes. Thanks for letting me know that. I think if we are using gmail, it can filter such kind of message to junk mail folder and you will never see it in your inbox. But, anyway that is good practice for everyone
