I’ve had issues with the site as well. I hand pick items from RSS feeds, and write the posts, with links directly to the theme/plugin/tip authors, nothing aggregated about my site (I read hundreds of posts titles looking for content). Then to only to see my posts show up on that site burns me to no end. Never thought about contacting google ads about it. I too use a CC license through the feedburner options.
Would it help if more than one site contacted google?
