What kind of ad are you referring to?
Display? Set your frequency capping...
Search, did you overbid anybody? Might be a competitor eating up your budget to win the bid... use your IP address exclusion and build a list... Might take some time but hunting bot clicks is horrible...
Also I see there's different countries there (US, Czechia, Pakistan...) Did you limit your countries correctly or is this a global offer?

@Graybeard you're funny !!!
Google bright? Google is a money machine... And not yours (well I guess it's not)

But all jokes apart... Yes, you are right, bad thing is that they claim they filter and don't deliver on that as these clicks clearly seem fraudulent...

It might be an intentional fail as there are paid services monitoring the clicks, if Google would do a good job, these services would be out of business...

@Guy Kerklies, if the clicks are not registered as you can request Google to look into it... Follow the bottom link instructions here

I thought that was obvious sarcasm

it absolutely was obvious...

I wondered why G00gle, who is sooo bright, is allowing obvious data centers to rape your budget.
I would ask for a refund or an explanation.
