    Hi, there,
    In this morning I got many clicks from some weird users as the CTR largely exceeds my normal range. there is a total number of clicks in my account, which is however much more than the sum of all clicks from different channels. So is the total number of impressions. I even don't know where all these clicks are from. And also, after 10 minutes, I found that there are 6 clicks increased. I believe someone is attacking me. Please tell me what I should do. By the way, I have mailed google telling them on this.

    All you can do now is wait for googles' reply. It seems that you have done the right thing e-mailing them immediately.

    Thanks! would google pre-ban me before they reply me. I heard of this before. If you get banned, then it is not easy to get your account back though you didn't do anything wrong

    Same thing happened to me this morning I have much more impressions and clicks than usually but earning is very low, not much more than I make with much less impressions and clicks.
    I am going to send an email to google too.

    If it was me, i would take the ads down for a day or so, and tell Google what you've done.
    you might also want to try AdLogger, which can let you know when you get multiple clicks, and even block ads for visitors that click too many times.

    Now that you have let Google know, they will see to it. It is unlikley that you will get banned if someone else is attacking the site. From what I can glean from you OP, it might be that they are not invalid clicks anyway.

    Typing something wrong? or maybe Caps Lock lol :D

    And to the OP
    I also recommend
    1) email google
    2) install adlogger
    3) ban the ip that is clicking your ads
