30 times as many clicks for a few days - what is going on?

    Hi, I advertise on DigitalPoint, I had a massive amount of clicks (far higher than normal - average of 300 clicks instead of 11) on the 2-4 of December, even though I had adjusted nothing in my account. What checks do you have for spam? I looked over the clicks and they seemed very fishy to me. Please look into this and let me know. Getting a click every few minutes when I have it targeted so narrowly seems really sketchy to me.

    There was some strange bots that were masquerading as legitimate users last week. They have already been blocked by their IP blocks and your account was already credited back for the ad funds they caused to be used. In your case, it was a credit back to your account of $27.65001
