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.

depending on your location.
If you choose bank transfer, your ads will show as soon as we receive your

We look forward to providing you with the most effective advertising available.
Sincerely,
