A variation on an old one. A seeming innocent email comes in from a well known source saying things are deactivated.
This one is from "Google Adwords". The highlighted link is innocuous enough but the link takes you elsewhere.

Your account will be reactivated as soon as you update your payment information.
Your ads will show immediately if you decide to pay for clicks via credit

depending on your location.
If you choose bank transfer, your ads will show as soon as we receive your
first payment.
We look forward to providing you with the most effective advertising available.
Sincerely,
