Report Google AdSense Spam & Click Fraud
In the past, we wrote an entry named GoogleGuy Wants AdSense Spam Sites Out. Some of the AdSense spam, scraper sites, click fraud and so on were out of hand. Jenstar at WebmasterWorld posted a thread named Reporting click fraud to Google AdSense, which is a shorter version of what she blogged on under the title Reporting publisher click fraud to Google just got easier.
It is true, it got very easy to report spam. All you need to do is click on the text at the bottom right of the Google AdSense ad that reads “Ads by Google” or “Ads by Goooooogle”. Then it pops open a new window, at the bottom of that window it reads “Give Google feedback on Ads by Google”. By including the phrase “invalid clicks” in the comments field (to report click fraud), it will be routed to the correct team.
Above is an image of a typical Google AdSense Ad, where I highlighted the link you click on to report such activity.

This website uses google as an advertisor. I was scammed by wealth911.com. They have charged me 3 times in 2 weeks and I never even recieved the google software I was suppesed to. They charged 39.90 3 times promised a refund. Cancelled the refund then charged me again. After they promised the only authorized charge would be $1. Yet they still charge you and make you wait a week to see if they will even return your money.

It’s plan for me to see that your not taking care of your customers just like the FBI (etc….) isn’t taking care of the people they work for. Does a bell ring or go off. It should. Fraud emails, it use to be funny (that’s fraud emails). I mean to see how stupid people are in being lazy and how hard they are willing to work to get out of work. Meaning they turn to fraud emails to make money. How I will never understand how anyone could get taken, the signs are always there in every email from business being conducted by using a made up email address to no verifiable information in the email.
Your thinking what is my problem. My problem is you for one thing. I love your service. I have had an email account for many a year. I want say I haven’t had problems, but I will say your service department has always treated me with kindness and got to the problem and fixed it. So I thought it was time that I gave this problem straight to you and quit getting mad about it.
I you check my spam emails you will find two or three out of ten emails that are fraud emails has a yahoo email address. I can never find any verifiable information on the person sending me emails using a yahoo email address. But knowing all the information you asked me when I opened my email account you would be able to give the FBI the information needed to arrest them for fraud, money laundering, etc…
For some reason the FBI hasn’t thought of this. Nor have you. You say your doing all you can do. Wrong!
You are giving these people the tool to defraud people and in my book make you an accessory to the crime a long with Google, AOL, etc….. I use to get fraud mail one or two a week now I get ten- twenty- thirty a day through email.
Why don’t you and the others form an alliance with the FBI and lock these people up. The same person tries to defraud me by using three or five email names and pretends to be different people.
Come on, Stupid is as stupid does!
It has to start with you, 90% of these fraud emails are to raise money for those terrorist to fight our arms forces, you know your child, mother, father, sister, brother, etc…
You need to do something! Wake up!
FBI you need to (as bad as it would hurt me and many others) closed down the internet and emails if you can’t control the criminals using it. Just think! That’s all I ask! It’s fairly simple, for every email account they have to prove who they are and you would have the information needed to lock criminals up. Just Wake up!!!
