Meanwhile they collect money from the advertisers.

Does Google credit the advertisers when they cancel click-bait websites/apps?

I know Google has a refund process that ad buyers can try to use if they have evidence of fraud.

However, does Google pro-actively do refunds when they cancel fraud sites/apps?

The email they send when you're terminated claims they refund the advertisers

Although if your app is removed from Google Play, they'll happily still display AdMob ads in your app while telling you that you can't collect the earnings because your app was removed from Google Play.
