If you suspect that disable it on the particular video if you can, you got over 1k views too?
I understand it if you have been banned Adsense before, there's little incentive and this could give you some even if you only receive a portion of what you could get through Adsense directly. I dont have a clue unless they apply partnership to your account, I am starting to think this isnt a YouTube partnership and more like a TGN one if you dont get the fancy extras although I swear someone on here was partnered through TGN and has all the extras.
I cant say about the view bots Ray, technically they dont have access to the IPs or solid proof even if it appears that way so maybe they accept that if they cant prove otherwise. To reach their target you would just need to bot or spend however much 1k is, release a video every day and in ten days you might be able to gain one. I believe they will go by that proof thing I mentioned even if it was blatant. I suppose if you can keep that up then they might not notice or care.
There's no way I know of to contact Adsense directly hence my comments on customer service over there for publishers, the advertister do though, and in fact I wouldn't even bother reporting some suspicious activity, I seen this one guy getting banned, he reported it to Google as they have a form for things like click bombing etc for you to report and he was banned soon after, he was saying how he bets if he didn't bother they wouldn't have bothered.
Other than reporting it and chancing it, I would just disable the ads completely because it isnt worth it if you hope to get partnership one day. Some people are right a**eholes
I hope they stop too.
