    I was really surprised. Is someone playing with me?? Has this happened to any of you guys??

    Should I stop displaying the ads on my site. I am kind of scared right now.. Don't want to get banned.

    someone might be making invalid clicks on your ads and therefore google might have removed the amount. But if it continues your account will get banned. Earlier it also happened to me. One of my friend used to click on my ads and for those clicks i was not paid and after some time my account got banned.

    you can also try filling google's invalid clicks form for protection

    since i am not allowed to post links now , i cannot post link to invalid click form but you can get it from adsense help. just type invalid clicks or invalid clicks form etc and complain.

    invalid clicks are most likely the culprit, also i've noticed sometimes adsense does some "self-correcting"

    Yes, report it to google and see what the issue was -- usually this occurs due to click fraud.

    How can a click is considered invalid? Can you undo the click?

    Apparently these are invalid clicks, in which case it should be reported to Google.
