I had reason to change my card details for certain repeat bills, none of which were for Google Ads as I do not have an ad campaign now. First off I got an email last night confirming the payment method was updated It was sent by payments-noreply@google.com As I said all I did was save the new card in my own system so I dont have to keep typing it in. A couple of hours later I have received like 2 dozen emails from the same email address titled "Google Ads: Your billing document is ready. All use the payment “payments profile ID” whatever that is! Each email has a different numbered Invoice, with a link to “View your Documents”. The link is https://support.google.com/google-ads/ which sounds legit, right ? I mean at this point the fact that I have dozens of emails wreaks of scam, but how would a scammer know I just updated my card and if its legit, how on each could I update my card with Google ads when I didnt go there and I dont have a current ad?? Im scared to click on the support/help link for the same reason

When you think something might be a scam, DO NOT click on any links contained in the information you received. Instead, go directly to the business website and search there for a support link to initiate contact.
