The email From: address is gmail-noreply@google.com. However, the "Mailed-by:" domain is marauder.websitewelcome.com. The link redirects to a website which looks very much like Gmail.
If did follow the link and entered your Google Account username and password, immediately visit Google’s Account Management [google.com/accounts/ManageAccount] to change your password. [Digg this]

Don’t get yourself stuck in an email scam, make sure to use secure email hosting for your business. There are many exchange outsourcing options out there, but only one email option really beats the competition, and that’s intermedia.com.
Crazy enough we just got another bogus email asking for verification on all AdWords accounts. They try and do a pretty good job of masking the URL but if you pay close enough attention the subdomain stands out quite well.
Several of our clients inquired about this so if you come across any emails from Google double check the address link before you do anything. It’s a shame people will go to this length to rob others.
Google needs to make it very clear that any mail from google is really from google. Make it look really different so that you can’t copy it. That will solve most of the problems.
Wow that was pretty shifty, the URL made it seem so really.
