I got an unsolicited email tonight from a person/company in the UK that goes on about click fraud and their software solution to it.

Did anyone else get one?

I usually brush spam off but this one really annoyed me. It's clear that they have got the details from Adwords adverts as the domain it came to is only active on there (and it's clearly aimed at Adwords advertisers).

I'd like to see everyone report this idiot. I'd like to see Google sue the ass off this idiot. Mass emailing Google Advertisers having got their details from adverts seems a contravention of database right AND he has the cheek to slag Google off in the email too.

If AWA is reading this I'd happily send you the email, the guy even puts his name on the bottom!

Thanks for the offer inbound.

I may be wrong (heheh!) but it sounds as if you feel pretty strongly about this. ;)

Perhaps I could just have you send it in an email from within your account (or to adwords-support@google.com). Those folks will know where to route it, and the right team will give it a look.

Thanks for looking out for our advertisers!
