    My main competition is in China. I can see what they have bots clicking on my ads. They change the IP address only slightly every time its clicked.

    I sent google an email about it 3 days ago and still nothing.

    This really sux. is there anything i can do?

    How do you know they're bots? :)

    I got lots of (invalid)clicks from china/india so I excluded them...

    If its a legit claim, you need to send your finding and logs to the fraud/abuse department. They will review your findings and logs with their and if its accurate they will credit you back...

    But you have to have proof
