Funny Awords Competitor Click Fraud Accusation...

So let me start off by telling you a little about what I do. I am a locksmith (highly competitive online market) and I used to run a mobile adwords campaign (what a ripoff). I got a text message today from a competitor saying "You're going to get sued for all of those clicks you did on our campaign". I politely told him to go "F" himself and proceeded to rip into him about doing the exact thing he was accusing me of.

He then started babbling about his tracking and provided me a screenshot of his adwords user page (Dumb Idea if you ask me because I have his username now) with 500 clicks. I got such a giggle out of this. Thought someone would enjoy the story.

    That's not funny at all.

    It's a pretty serious accusation he's making, especially if he has proof (screenshots).

    His screenshots were of his campaign, Not IP's. What kind of judge would even hear some bs like that anyhow? The whole " Im going to sue you over what I think you did " thing cracks me up. I have screenshots too of false clicks on a mobile campaign but they're all proxy or cell phones. My point is the competitor should be after Google and not his competition. The're the ones who offer "click fraud detection" which is laughable to say the least.
