Do all new adwords accounts get reviewed?

I opened this one via win vps with remote control. Wonder if they're on to this shit already.
Most likely nothing to worry about. New accounts that are completely legit are being held up in review, as well. New accounts opened from the same IP as existing accounts are getting through after the review period, though billing info and site prompted was different. If that doesn't trip a flag, not sure what will. Then again, the account that was linked with my banned account in the same MCC is still running...
I went through this a couple months ago. It was my 2nd account with same name and address but the account was totally legit (nothing shady like my 1st account). I emailed support about the review period and that must have sped things up because I started getting impressions an hour or two later. I also access another account (a clients that I manage) and log back into my first account occasionally all from the same IP with no problems yet, knock on wood.
Yup, totally! Send Adwords a support ticket asking them to manually review your account -- fun times for one and all!
I actually sent them a "support ticket" - got an immediate email saying my account is under review for security purposes and billing information verification WTF?!?!?!? What exactly do they verify? Don't tell me they actually call the number I put in there :action-smiley-052:
@OP, you mentioned you went through your VPS. That VPS may be located anywhere. You should know that the credit/debit card authorization checks the geo ip when you enter the card information. If the physical distance is greater than 500 miles(limit may vary) then it will flag a credit card fraud review.
I have an LLC in another state and use debit cards with a physical address more than 500 miles from my home. Was getting flagged for fraud reviews but solved it by getting a dial up account in the same city as the physical address listed on my cards. Could have done it with another type of proxy, but an old school dial up account is rock solid(undetectable as a proxy, and not shared with scammers) and gives me a dynamic IP address.
Most online purchases don't bother with the geo ip distance thing, but the big 3 PPC definitely do. After creating the account and entering the card info, you can manage the account from anywhere and it won't throw red flags.
