That being the case i dont see why they would be hitting your site or why they would want to hit your site with any fake traffic i could see someone writing a script to go thru them and proxy sites to generate fake clicks on your site tho i have read the bbs before awile ago and some proxy site owners were bitching about people trying to abuse thier service to hitbot other sites this is probably what happened to you.
Unless you think the owner/owners of proxy.org have a personal problem with you.

Ok, I can give you my personal theory on this.
Let's say that you develop a script to do just what you say. You know that if you run this script on your own PPC account that it will only be amatter of time before your get canned. But if you put up a site that sells ads then you use your "clicking script" to send traffic to the sites of the people that advertise with you it artificially inflates the value of your service.
The FACTS in this deal are that Google's evaluation of the data suggests that proxy.org is involved in click fraud. I and I think most courts will see their opinion as that of authority.
I guess we will just see how this whole deal shakes out. I can't see why a 3rd party with nothing to gain would be sending invalid traffic to over 600 sites.
