Google Ads Click Fraud Investigation

If you are searching for a click fraud investigator, you probably already know that refunds alone are not enough. What you really need is to uncover the people behind the attacks, expose the networks they use, and build a case strong enough to recover meaningful losses.

The Forensic Perspective on Click Fraud

Google’s filters stop some invalid traffic, but investigations begin where automated detection ends. Our approach focuses on attribution and accountability in the areas advertisers struggle with most:

  • Going beyond the 500 IP block limit by tracing across rotating networks
  • Building evidence that overturns refund denials
  • Unmasking botnets and click farms that operate offshore
  • Bringing transparency to traffic from search partners and display networks
  • Documenting budget drain and linking it to ROI loss
  • Identifying low-quality traffic signals that go beyond click-through rates
  • Mapping evolving tactics, including AI-assisted fraud rotations
  • Highlighting platform conflicts where Google profits from fraudulent clicks
  • Pursuing legal pathways with subpoenas and court-ready reports
  • Tracking AI-powered fraud at scale and predicting future risk

Frequently Asked Questions

How is an investigation different from click fraud detection software?

Detection software blocks some traffic, but it does not provide attribution. Rexxfield delivers evidence and reports that are admissible in legal and regulatory proceedings.

Will this help me get a refund?

Yes. While Google often resists refund requests, independent forensic reports provide the pressure needed to compel refunds and legal recovery.

Can Rexxfield testify in court?

Yes. Our team includes expert witnesses who provide testimony and support for litigation.

Defending, Monitoring, 
and Winning Refunds

Universal Mitigation Playbook

Prevent

  • Harden geo/locale: exclude high‑risk regions; split campaigns by geo to contain spillover.
  • Tighten placement & inventory: exclude parked domains, toolbars, incentivized placements.
  • Rate‑limit by IP/device: cap clicks/session; throttle repetitive /64 IPv6 prefixes.
  • Implement server‑side validation and bot challenges on landing pages (progressive, not blocking humans).

Detect

  • Baseline KPIs (CTR, CVR, CPC, AOV) and alert on deviations by campaign/geo/device.
  • Correlate repeated clicks across IPs, /24 IPv4 and /64 IPv6, user agents, and time windows.
  • Identify datacenter/hosting ASNs; flag emulator fingerprints and headless browsers.

Respond

  • Immediately exclude bad IP ranges, placements, and app/site IDs.
  • Clone clean segments into new campaigns; pause contaminated ad groups.
  • Preserve raw logs; create a case docket with timeline and exhibits.

Refund Strategy

  • Export invalid click evidence: logs, IPs, ASN/host flags, heatmaps, and time series spikes.
  • Map evidence to ad‑platform policies (Google Ads ‘invalid activity’; Microsoft Ads ‘invalid clicks’).
  • Submit via platform form/rep; include concise 1‑page executive summary and CSV appendix.
  • Request make‑good credits for date ranges; keep case IDs; diarize follow‑ups.
