Adsense SCAM!

[tessunitu]

The Adsesnse program of google seems to be rip-off. There might be some people who are earning but they conned me.I live in a shared property. My housemate got his adsense account banned due to illegal clicks. And to my surprise, few days later they banned my account even thinking I was the same person.I have different name, bank-account details, different domain, the only thing common is the address. I don't know what on earth made them think I am the same person.I emailed them about this and they didn'y respond. After a few days I emailed again ranting about their behaviour. I asked them to act professionally and atleast acknowledge my email, and I told them I could privide them with additional identity proofs. They replied saying they'll investigate.A month passed and nothing was done. I had to sign up for a different ads service and had to edit all my webpages. They even ripped me off the money which I earned.Just because google is big company they think they can rip-off and harass innocent people. That's shame on them.I don't know how many other people would have been robbed by google. And just because they're big, we're helpless. Adsense is a scam!It was always a risk if you and your friend have the same IP..Personally i would put the blame on your friend for trying to rip them off, Googlle are just trying to protect thier business. It's important that they remove anyone who is a potential thief.Yes - living at the same address and having the same IP would flag your account and your friends.If analysis of the click throughs from your friends adsense account showed high amounts of invalid clicks - whether he done them, whether you done them or other friends in the same area would have meant google would act first, think later.There is nothing wrong with that in theory. They need to protect the integrity of adsense and so will act quickly and decisively to prevent what they analysis shows as suspicious activity - possible click-fraud.The bad part is that nothing has been done when you are innocent of that - that is the risk taken when sharing the same IP.An idea could have been for only ONE of you to have signed up, but setting up different areas within the account to monitor the breakdown of the cash that would be due.Obviously you would have to ensure that neither you, your flatmate nor any friends were trying to artificially boost revenue by falsely generating clicks.Adsense is not a scam.It was written black and white in the terms of agreement any suspected/possible of click fraud will result in account termination.Didn't u read it before u join google adsense? You should blame your friends instead. But there's possible to unbanned your account. It will take some times (months). Be patient and provide them as many prove as possible. I'm not sure what will happen to your money in adsense account after it unbanned.They could be kind of cold ...But again, they need to have an impeccable reputation otherwiseadvertisers will not trust the AdWords service and they would losetheir revenue...Try to send them several email explaining the situation..or switch to another networkI'd hold nothing against Google - if I was running AdSense I would've done precisely same thing.
