Anyone see Invalid Click Data in Your AdSense Panel?

Anyone see new data available when you look at your Earnings data for the month? I have read some info that Google may be showing how many bad clicks you got for the month, and the money that they deleted from your earnings.

The data is supposed to be at:

My Account > Payment History > Earnings

I personally don't have any data there besides my regular earnings, but there is a report going around that some people have money removed because of fraud clicks. Just wondering if anyone sees anything special there.

I have read about it as well but have not experienced it in my earnings.

I think we need to hear something official from Google concerning this before we can take this much further. From what I can understand, only 1 party has "apparently" experienced this "invalid clicks deduction" up to this point.

If the story does stand up to scrutiny, I suppose it means that - in some cases - Google is willing to make a deduction rather than instantaneously ban. The question then becomes what actions does Google expect the publisher to take to rectify the "invalid click" situation.

I just looked at my stats, and this didn't show up for me.

Are you sure you are thinking of AdSense? Because a few months ago, they did start doing that on the AdWords side, showing advertisers how many invalid clicks they were not counted for invoicing.
