Fraud Google Clicks A Rant by Carpet Man Perth

As work was starting to slow down a bit, I decided to advertise on Google ads.

My line of work is carpet repairs in Perth and carpet stretching and laying.

I started a week ago and have received one genuine call and 42 fraudulent clicks.

On me adds which I pay for and has cost me a lot of money hundreds of dollars.

Ok I understand I have a few competitors one is a large company goes by many names operates in every capitol Australian city uses overseas workers to carry out their carpet repairs not owner operated.

Ther are another 2- 3 companies local also offering these services .

Please see

Pictures of the fraudulent clicks using all sorts of tricks after they had been blocked.

see above all the different Ip addresses

And lots of this won't post them all ,Gives you the idea

For over clicking on my adds then using VPN to divert to India, Brazil, Indonesia Mexico etc

To keep clicking on my adds with the hope I will fold under the pressure, and you will be back on no 1 spot on Google, isn’t that, right?

As you can see by the Ip addresses recorded and currently under investigation with over forty fraud clicks per day it won’t be too hard to work out who it is and will publish their names and company.

My add when it was on the top of the page

If you read this and you are the fraudulent clicker /clickers  , Shame on you especially if you have a family.

How do you hold your head up high when teaching your children good morals.

How do you sleep at night?

I feel sorry for your clients if you are such a low life.

I would not dream of clicking on a competitors add, to try to hurt them or ruin their business.

There is enough work out there for all  ,I cannot understand this, Greed. jealousy

This is direct Violation see google Ads : Account suspension: In cases where any repeatedly violates Google's policies or engages in fraudulent activities, Google may suspend their account, preventing them from running further ads.

Legal implications: If the reported ad involves serious fraud or illegal activities, Google may cooperate with law enforcement agencies and pursue legal action against the responsible party.

To end off I will continue with my adds and have now the right equipment in place to record this fraud  ip addresses etc and report it to Google and Lawyers.

if you are one of the innocent parties and facing the same problem, get in touch to weed out the fraudsters.

Thanks for Reading
