Google Ads is suddenly texting me?

Hey I've been contacted by ads-noreply @ google lately even though I've never been in contact with them. A few days before I received a security warning about logging in via my email account. But since I thought that it wouldn't be a bad thing because I logged into my laptop a few weeks ago. I noticed very quickly that it couldn't be because it is my YouTube email with which I'm normally registered separately with YouTube in order to be able to manage emails via / for my YouTube channel more easily.

Then I also noticed that the device that registered with my YouTube email is not the laptop on which I registered.

I then changed my password very quickly. Now I have 4 emails from ads-noreply @ google and the last one was with the title "Just one more step and your ad can be delivered"

The email says:

What is in the brackets is just a note from me.

==============

"Your ad is almost ready. With our support you will soon reach more customers. Call us: (Number: [removed from support], If this email is real, this number is publicly available but I RECOMMEND no one to call the numbers you don't know). Then you will soon be at the forefront. * "

Kind regards, Google Custemer Solutions

I'm now quite overwhelmed because I do not know exactly whether this is just a cheap scam or whether someone hacked into my account to distribute any advertisements / advertisements with my email.

As already mentioned, I changed my password, but I'm not sure if that's enough.

What else should I do? Can i do anything else? Am I (since it's my email) the alleged contractual partner of the whole thing? Do you have similar experiences?

I thank everyone who can help me!

Can you please post the full email address of the sender here? A part is still missing (the domain extension). If the full address is anything other than "ads-noreply@google.com", it is spam.

The wording doesn't match Google at all. As far as I know, the support email address is always one to which you can (and may) reply. So nothing with "noreply", which is basically an email address from which only information is sent.

It ends on a domain with .com

Should i just ignore it?

Yes, I would do that.
