Adsense referral

[greenba]

Hi,

Many of my fiends sign up to Adsense thru my Adsense referral. Once they have reached $100, I have been credited $250 for each, and a check has been sent to me (Still waiting for it). Now the problem is that of my friends got suspended because of invalid clicks, but I have already been credited with the $250, I mean they are in the check that is going to arrive in couple of weeks. The question is: Is Google going to take those $250, and how, as the check has already been sent?

Anyone with similar issue?
Any help?

regards,
Jasmin

The questions to ask are:
- Do you think you deserve that money?
- Is it worth it to be associated with friend(s) that just got banned for click fraud?

I mean they are in the check that is going to arrive in couple of weeks.

Your friends sign up for Google via AdSense. Your friends generate invalid clicks which earn you a $250 fee.

It's possible Google thinks this is a fraud/scheme set up by you and your friends to earn referral fees. In that case, that $250 check might not ever be placed in the mail.

I am surprised Google sent the cheque without verifying data on your 'friends' adSense account status.

Seems to be the typical left hand / right hand syndrome.

I won't be surprised if you get the cheque and then they realize! (what they did), then deduct the same from your EARNINGS.
