I know this is not technically SEO, but it's "Black Hat" related.

We're seeing a jump in Adwords clicks without changes to account. The other day I was thinking, what is preventing someone from creating a fake review site, or distributing an article that instead of linking to our site, it links to the Google search result where our Adwords ad is displayed on top?

Does Adwords prevent that by seeing the click came from a search result where the search was not manually entered and came from a referring link - that's what I'm guessing. Otherwise you could post an article "The Most Prominant {industry} Companies On The Internet - According to Google"
 
Pretty sure they have a system to prevent such abuse, would be shocking if not.

The best way to test would be to do it on your own ads and see if a charge happens, and if it sticks.
