Hoax Emails Continue …
It seems that the hoax emails that were sent to a handful of German webmasters has spread and more people are getting upset over Google’s “stance” of using 301 Redirects, as the email states that it is violation of their terms of use.
Turns out, the emails are from Spammers.
Google announced last month that they were going to discontinue the practice of notifying webmasters through email. I strongly suggest that every webmaster have a Google Webmaster account. In your account Google can tell you if there is a problem, and there is no risk of a Spammer nailing you there.
Just be careful with statements in email … addresses and headers can be forged.
