It's either One of two things.
A: Server testing your links but using weird cloaking.
B: Dumb kid that thinks he is haxoring your campaign.
Either way I would not be worried especially with 3 clicks - now if you get hundreds or thousands then I would contact someone at Google or your hosting company about the situation.
Another thing that is really weird is that IP 127.0.0.1, 69.1 - I've never seen anything like that before, 127.0.0.1 is a LOCAL IP but you could only get that if it was coming from your server that prosper is running on (not google), and still prosper usually pulls a referrer from that.
Whatever it is it's using some sort of referrer cloaking, probably a .Htaccess / php hack.
Good luck and let us know if you get more then 3

Can you expand that IP column at all? Something might be corrupt in your DB, it looks like it's listing 127.0.0.1 (localhost) & trying to list another IP at the same time.
Also, Ask.com is a fucking cesspool of fraud. It appears that you're probably getting the clicks from Ask.com search through Google, which should be ok - but if you use Ask's sponsored listings service, there's rampant fraud. I went from being profitable on a small campaign w/~20 sales a month to getting click fraud in amount of ~$100/day (they'll refund it, but it's not worth the time to report all the fraud daily).

But, for no reason, my network just shut down this offer without notifying me.... So I have to paused this campaign for now.
I just sent an e-mail to my AM.
Anybody heard of Revolution202?
