I ran Google ads twice previously on two sites and literally days before I was due to get paid by them, my account was suddenly suspended for no reason; no explanation given other than some bullshit about "invalid clicks". Their entire support system is automated, so even though you send them emails complaining, you get the same "We've looked over your account and have decided not to re-enable your account" back.
In my opinion, it's a massive scam aimed at people who haven't got the time or effort to go around suing them. I did contact a lawyer the second time, but he never got back to me, so I'm assuming it wasn't worth his time either.
