Hi, everyone
Have some issues with Google Ads for the last few months. We've detected suspicious payments

This happen many times for every accounts. There were 2 accounts that worked for 1 or 2 days and than got suspened.

I created accounts on new computer, different card, different Ip new name. And was working few days and than got suspened for suspicious payments again. I dont know why because they didnt even bill my card and i pay them before and still the same issue.

What should i do to get ads running.
 
If you're cloaking, that's most likely why you're getting suspended. From my experience, suspicious payment usually means they want to review your entire account to ensure compliance.
 
OK, bear in mind that sometimes even due to a policy violation, the suspension reason may show as due to "suspicious payment". So ..... What niche are you running ? Another aspect is that many VCC and card bins are flagged : will get added, but account gets suspended within 24 to 48 hours. Try 1 thing, though. With the same VCC / card bin(s) that you are using, create a safe totally whitehat campaign in 2 accounts and if again suspended, then it is surely card / VCC bin(s) flagged. In Google Ads account creation, always do A/B testing.

hahahaha great theory mate.

He is not totally wrong. My first AdWords account ever got banned for "circumventing system" while spamming Bitcoin-ads. (CC from well known european bank)

I then created a white hat campaign a month after and I then used my Revolut-card instead (I even chose virtual). Of course I had a brand new device with brand new fingerprints.

Guess what, it worked. It went the whole threshold period.

Lesson we learn: Don't Be Negative. Just A/B Test Your Payments Already.

Straightaway increase daily budget from say US$10 to US$120 and see what happens : 90% chance that account will get suspended and it will show suspended due to suspicious payment. There are many other scenarios where suspension reason showing as suspicious payment, is not actually due to the card or vcc or payment method (sometimes it is, though). So, as user @KegaSuS also said and I also said, A/B testing of accounts is a must if you are getting many account suspensions. But, anyways, no one is forcing anything on you. We are all here to exchange experiences. Try to be humble next time. No one is a master of anything, otherwise forums like this would be of no value to anyone, right ? We are all sailing together, so let us learn together, so that each one of us grows. I wish you success and everyone success.

Google does not block bin number. I have created almost 50 accounts from the same bin number. almost 20 account got suspended because of suspicious payment and 30 is running.

Google DOES block bins. If with the bin you used, out of 50 accounts, 30 running & 20 suspended, that means that that bin is not blocked. With a blocked bin, even if you create 1 million accounts, ALL accounts will get suspended instantly.
