# Why should I not trust the blocked clicks number on the dashboard?

Because the same software decides what counts as fraud and then counts how much of it was stopped. That number cannot contradict itself, so it is not evidence of anything. It is not necessarily dishonest, it is just self-referential. Use figures from your Google Ads account instead, since those are measured independently of whichever vendor you are evaluating.
