So it isn't likely this Adwords info was gotten off some scam site or something for them to send me this. Stuff has been redacted in case it's legitimate. Did a quick Google search but didn't really turn up anything that similar.
But yeah, just hoping that one of you guys has Adwords as well and can tell me if this email is legitimate or not. And if it is, have you found it worth it?

Yeah, I don't quite trust it when someone says "free anything" because things are rarely free. But he didn't ask for any kind of email or info or anything, and posted a US phone number for me to call, so it seems legitimate.
So yeah TL, help me out here?
