GOOGLE IS A THIEVING EVIL COMPANY

        After like three months my adsense account was about to hit 100 $macker$. Not much but hey I am in College. My blog site traffic was up, friends and family used the google search box which added revenue.

After claiming to have stale-mailed me a pin number on June 2^nd to pay me, my account was terminated on June 4th when they claimed to have emailed me something that explains why to my GMAIL account.

This Now appears in my login.

“Account Not Active

An AdSense account does not exist for this login, as it is associated with an unapproved application. For more information about your application, please review the message we sent to the email address you provided with your application. “

It was being used for 3 months, and no problems until it came down to paying.

They claim they emailed me something to my gmail account! But I never received it. I am hoping it is a glitch since I did like adsense. Funny thing about it they still have the code for my box and ads active. Just payment is probably not going to happen. Anyone else have this problem?

UPDATE- 

After the story appeared on a few news sites google emailed me a response.  Which I responded to.

My response is.

Where is the proof?   May I see a copy of the invalid click report?  I monitor my web traffic very carefully and have seen no weird happenings.   Why are there still ads on my site and a google box if my clicks dont matter. Apparently they do -, to you - since you left the ads.  I think you are thieves since you show no proof.  I can see how the company became so wealthy, not having to pay off what you promise is nice.

I had that happen because they claimed I had frodulent clicks. That was complete fucking bullshit.

If anything, some of my friends might have clicked on my ads from work (over a network) so the IP would have showed as the same one. No other real reason I can think of.

Anywya, I contacted them and they said they had to close my account to protect the advertisors and there program.

I had just hit the $100 mark.

Yep Yep, they do that. Right when it comes down to paying. I use special tools to monitor my website traffic. I had no repeat ip's and they claimed that all my clicks were fraud. They are an evil deceptive company. Maybe we should start up a class action lawsuit or something.

I wonder if web spiders could have been the cause for the invalid clicks? In any case, Google does not need proof to terminate any account you hold with them.

It isn't very difficult to hold a job while attending college; I'm doing quite well juggling college full-time and work part-time. An employer, at least, cannot deny you the money you rightfully earned.
