    Check out this PM i just received from FlightRice:

    I then pretended I was interested as seen here:

    From seeing his blog and the site he send me to submit. His publisher ID is: pub-2111864921856687

    Should I report him to Google Adsense?

    Definitely! Every such click scams end up diluting the effects of those who are trying hard to get the real advertising, it decreases the Advertisers' click through sales and the nett effect is lesser money per click for the rest of the honest publishers. It will be our duty to expose such scams.

    Nahh. Don't report him. Why be a j3rk? Just let him know that next time he'll get banned.

    As said before: it decreases the Advertisers' click through sales and the nett effect is lesser money per click for the rest of the honest publishers.

    Go to his web site, click on the "Ads by Google" you will see a feed back form. Scroll down there is a

    "Send Google your thoughts on the site or the ads you just saw"

    There is a column for reporting violations.

    Google certainly has the data and analytical ability to determine if your claim is legit. You ought to report it.

    That's true. Its kind of unfair. You're right. I guess reporting him won't be wrong.

    Maybe he should get banned from DP as well? The initial PM me sent me was spam anyway.

    My initial attitude was the same "Who cares?" but I was castigated by another member who said the same thing, which I find very reasonable. We should help each other and also Google, every click by a scammer means one tiny bit of revenue that should belong to honest publishers gone.
