      I received a phone call from someone hired just to "click" on ours ads!

      A competitors is asking is employes to click on our ads all the time to increase our expense. This employe reporting that fraudulent action, was fired by is employe because is was not ok with this action.

      I told him, it is impossible to be "smarter" then Google for this kind of action. He answer:

      "this guys is very smart, he is using all kind of proxy to avoid being track be Google"

      Is this possible?

      Is there a way to report this to Google?

      Should I worry about this?

      Thank you,

        Believe me when I say, Google has enough experience to deal with this kind of "attacks". They automatically monitor click fraud and even using proxies won't circumvent Google's techniques to detect click-fraud.

        Anyway, you can contact Google explaining the issue right from your AdWords dashboard.
