I logged into Google Adwords today and, as I usually do, I scrolled to the bottom of the report to see what I'd spent yesterday. It said something like, $28,950!
What! My heart rate hits 200 .....
It took about five minutes before I noticed that the report's date range had been set to "All Time."
Whew .....

Do not take Google All Time stats with stimulants as this may cause your head to explode. :)
Hahahah!
Unless of course you've fine tuned your account, track your results and know that you are making way more than you spend - and are looking at your 'All Time' stats on purpose simply to make yourself proud.
In these cases, your chest will swell with pride - and no head exploding is involved at all. :)
Been there, by the way, with the unbelievably & shockingly high bill. Except in my case it was the phone company, and the bill was technically correct. Was expecting a $17 charge for my dial up Internet connection (yes, this was a while ago) and opened the envelope to find that it was $960 and change!
I still remember how I got a little dizzy.
AWA
Someone had hacked into my account. They created a new campaign with a name similar to an old one and I've been charged over $1000 for the fradulent ads. I've reported it to AdWords Support.
