Google billing errors

Had a campaign running in adwords that ended on a certain date. Campaign was paused within adwords system, but over a month later the billing is still going for the campaign that was paused. Spoke with Google and their staff said they were willing to offer only a partial refund and leave our company stuck paying almost $20, 000 in ukrainian dollars or almost $2500 in us dollars.

They admitted that their adwords servers have experienced glitches before where problems have been experienced. However, they were not willing to provide the refund for the actual amount that was stolen from my business by Google.

I do have future campaigns that I will spend on with search marketing, but I will use other sources other than Google and choose to never advertise with the company ever again. What they did is steal from someone else and play the game with their technical back-end support to fraudulent bill someone for ads that were aired after a dated event was already ended. There wasn't even a web page active for the ads to send people to a landing page. It had a message stating that the event ended on a certain date.

Google is indeed an EVIL company. I have no doubt there are many "ghost" clicks that cause small businesses money.

Google cannot tell you much information on who is "clicking" on your ads, yet we read all the time about how much information they know about everyone.

I look forward to the day they get sued for bilking BILLIONS of dollars out of small (and large) business owners.

I went into my Google Adwords account that was set up by my assistant back in July. She had put together an Adword campaign and I assume when I went back into the account on April 5th to simply use the keyword planner may have accidentally initiated the campaign.

Two days later over $700 was billed to my credit card for a campaign for a domain that not longer exists and for a company I don't work for. There were no conversions and clearly Google can see that the domain didn't even redirect on the days the campaign ran. Simply a 404 error. Even knowing this, their Indian call center was adamant that I owed the money.

Want a scam. No notification that a campaign was started, no previous billing on the account, a campaign linked to a dead domain, and no conversions and they still want to collect. Clearly this was an error and the dirty bloodsuckers still want to collect over $700.

Google Adwords is a rip off! Signed up to help a small business with the promise of not being billed over $26 a day and not to exceed $760 a month. Then the billing started first few days were under the $26 limit then it starting exceeding the limit so the service was cancelled. As soon as it was cancelled it doubled for the last few days now Google Adwords expects a payment which is not ethical. What a bunch of cheats.
They are misleading and a fraud as far as I'm concerned.

Google is hard to fight against. Here is a letter I sent them 02/21/2018. Still no response:

Mr. Veresh,
To date we have not resolved the dispute to my bill.  I wish to resolve this matter and continue this business relationship.  Here are my complaints regarding the service my company has contracted with Google:
Note that our adwords account is a call only campaign.  We are charged when a customer clicks and calls our company so that we may offer the service.  I am the only person answering the phone calls.  I am the administrator of the online adwords account.

1)  main complaint - for example, on any given day, google says and charges for 5 clicks they say i received.  on that day i only recvd 1 call.
the 5 clicks were NOT translated into 5 calls.  How do i know that the google algorithm does not automatically generate "ghost" clicks in order to charge? 

specific day - Jan 11, 2018 google says i had 48 impressions and 6 clicks for a charge of 4311.  i received only 2 calls.
Jan 7, 2018 google says i had 29 impressions and 3 clicks for a charge of 20.14.  i received only 1 calls.

Jan 31, 2018 google says i had 60 impressions and 9 clicks for a charge of 66.08.  i received only 6 calls. (this was a good day but those extra 3 clicks i am being charged for cost me nearly $40)
This is my problem.  Google has the smartest engineers in the world and they CAN find a system that uses the customer's phone numbe and verifies that a call was made.
I believe that your algorithm charges for multiple clicks from the same device (IP address).  This is not fair to the customer paying for the click. 
2) the billing statement is intentionally vague regarding the time of click, search term used, etc.
This makes it hard for a the client paying for the click to verify it as real or a 'ghost' click generated in order to charge for it.  on a simple website paying for leads, the algorithm appears to always reach the daily budget indicated by "packing" the site with generated 'ghost' clicks in order to charge the maximum a client indicates he wants to pay.  On a small site, with a small budget, most clients just blindly pay the bill.  Multiplied by the thousands of users of adwords and adwords express, this adds up to millions each month.
I am one little business owner who will happily pay google for each call recieved. I do not want to think google generates revenues by creating ghost clicks. 

"Do no evil" is the mantra for Google.  Please review/scan/scrutinize my bills for the last two years and help me correct the overages that I paid.  Please change the ad display algorithm for campaigns that utilize the 'call only' to charge ONLY when a call is generated.
I may be reached at [protected] or personal cell [protected].
Thank you,
Joe Aleman III

Google fraudulent and unauthorized small incremental charges

Just like all of the complaints that I've read a couple of days ago, I noticed this UNAUTHORIZED FRAUDULENT small incremental debits from my PERSONAL account on 5/24 and 5/25/13, totalling $15.00.

Immediately, I sent an ALERT to my banking institution on Memorial Day, May 27, 2013 via my online banking account. On Tuesday, May 28th, at 9:30 a.m., my banking institudion called me and sent me two forms: 1) Customer Dispute and 2: Affidavit. We immediately CANCELLED the card to STOP any more transactions. As of today, May 30, 2013, my account as been re-credited with the amounts UNAUTHORIZED out.

Also, my financial institution is NOTIFYING all of its BANKING CUSTOMERS, BOTH PERSONAL AND COMMERCIAL.

I am also a victim of this. Unfortunately, my dad handles the credit card and he didn't notify me of how often it was happening and when I looked at the credit card statements, I realized that it has been happening for months! They are noted as charges that my roommate possibly could have made, but she hasn't had a phone for a few months and I haven't had a Google phone is over 1 year. I plan on calling ASAP, but I am worried about the charges several months back.

You all are thieves, which goes to say that I will never use google again. I want my money back and Google should never use my name or card again. If need be I will change my credit card number.

Google Jon Lawson

I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable doing business with a guy who tells people to erase evidence from their phones after they rape someone (see photos below). I'm also wary of consultants who don't understand how permanent the internet is. Below are screen shots of his twitter account, his Google+ account and tweets from people upset with his sympathies towards rapists.

Below are photos of Jon's Google+ account which shows him as both the owner of Jon Lawson Research and Consulting and the guy behind @JonLawson32 (see https://plus.google.com/109527402958302672781/about). He also previously worked for the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare.

I hope that when you are considering hiring Jon as a consultant, that you also take into account his personal views of what to do if you rape someone (delete your stuff).

Google interference with wifi modem

I connect iPads, iPhones, iPods through a WIFI modem to the Internet. My desktop is hard wired to the WIFI. Now frequently the connection to the Internet isn't available or is dropped. When this happened I used to reset the WIFI modem and the connection to the Internet got restored. Finally I got tired of this nuisance and checked the IP to which the WIFI was connected. I was 169.254.246.206 the last six digits of the IP address changed from time to time. When I searched on the Internet who's behind this IP address which infiltrated my WIFI I found that it was no other than Google who tries to download Google Chrome to the connected hardware. Based on this knowledge I immediately removed Google Chrome from my desktop PC and since that time the IP address of my Internet provider stays on the modem and the interference with the Google IP came to an end.

Google unnecessary interference and bossing us around

Chrome keeps asking us to update Java or Adobe or something even if the latest update isnt that hot! For example Java 6.37 or 6.39 is adequate while 7.xx is lousy! Each time the screen freezes while we choose "update" OR "allow this time"
The extension suggested by Chrome JUST DOESNT WORK AS THE COMPUTER REJECTS THE ADDITIONAL WORDS SUGGESTED BY THEM IN THE COMMAND LINE AFTER CHROME.EXE
I have used computers since 1975 (IIT Bombay grad) and like them. It is the a$%eh&**es like MS or Google who think they are too smart for words who end up j$%king you off!

Just found out I have had 71 charges of .99 and 18 charges of 1.99. Those are not including pending charges that I have of 13 more .99 charges and 2 more 1.99 charges. I had to cancel my card effective immediately because it looked like there was no end in sight. This was over four days time! I can't file a complaint about the pending chargers as of yet because they are pending but that money is still already showing up as money I can not use in my account. Never ever again will I have a card attached to my phone to purchase anything!

Google unauthorized charges

Same issue! The amount is too small for any financial institution to actually dispute, so they just eat the charge, and google*midas goes on stealing from our banks! It's not all the banks' fault that charges to consumers are high ... they have tons of costs and high insurance premiums to cover. Things like this are pernicious and hurt us all. Boo to you, Google*Midas. Stealing money from Americans and our Financial Institutions $1.15 at a time is mean business.

Yes, these were fraudulent charges. I explained everything that happened, and they still refused to reimburse me. I think everybody needs to be warned about watching out for Google play and when purchasing anything from any of the Google services! They have become far too big, and they don't care if there are fraudulent charges on customers' accounts. Nobody seems to oversee enforcing them do the right and ethical thing. I think all 1300+ people who filed complaints and were told there was evidence that the disputed charges were not authorized. should report their problem to the BBB, FCC, and the FTC.

I did not see any Google play employee here on the day all these other charges occurred. If there was, they would witness 3 authorized purchases and not 13!

My son asked if he could make a charge on my debit card for a game he was playing and he was to give me cash. I said yes. He came back and asked me two more times if he could buy something for his game and I said yes. I put the card information into the purchase area and then as soon as the purchase went through, I deleted my card and somehow, I still got charged for the 10 other charges for $386 total. When I got my statement,

My son did not make those charges and neither did I all but the original 3 were charged by somebody who evidently got my card number before I could delete my card from the system.

After all, hackers, thieves and liars have perfected their dishonest ways. They are in every job, every corner of the world and every ethnicity/walk of life!

The charges came from "GOOGLE *37 GAMES [protected] CA", "GOOGLE *UPWAKE Mountain ViewCA" "GOOGLE *UPWAKE g.co/helppay#CA", Dishonest people have very clever ways to steal information and over their tracks.

Notice some sites have phone numbers and the others do not have any contact information. That’s a scam artist making it appear to be legitimately a well-known businesses like Google. Also, why does 1 game have 3 different places to charge fees? This is sketchy at best!

This is extremely odd to be coming from Google because I've never had any problems with Google until now where my account was hit with 5 charges from Google Activision of $5.29 each on June 11th, 1 charge from Google Activision for $4.29 on the 10th and another 5 charges on June 9th for $5.29 each coming to a total of $57.19. My battle with Google has just started. Aside from Google I've had allot of what I call DOT.COM SCAMMERS charging my debit account and none authorized charged. These DOT.COM are the following plus more: PLEZZEE.COM, WSHFVS.COM, ASIACSV.COM and others. PLEZZEE.COM took $272.71 of which I lost the battle on.

I was too scammed by the google sucess kit. After I paid the dollar something for the "kit" about 7 days later I was slammed with a charge of $67.00 on my card. which caused my accounts to mess up!

I called and nicely asked for a refund. Some guy named Leo was VERY rude for no reason. These are his exact words "There is no point in this conversation, so we might as well just go our separate ways" and hung up? Okay thats great customer service

I had other charges on my card for network agenda and some other people. Even after I cancelled I still got slammed with another charge.

I just called my bank and cancelled and re ordered a card. I HIGHLY recommend you all do the same so that you never have to worry about that again

Its a shame what some people are doing to make money. Its ridiculous that I had to cancel my card just to get them to stop taking my HARD EARNED money. I hope this helps!

The "google treasure chest" offered a CD/DVD for $1.99 that would provide you with information on how to make money on the internet. I was under the impression that $1.99 would be the only charge associated with this. Subsequently, I have had approximately $200.00 automatically withdrawn from my checking account from other advertisers that are associated with the Google Treasure Chest, (e.g. Reservation Rewards, Safelock ID, etc.) In each case I have had to call the telephone number associated with the withdrawal from my account and demand that the account be closed and that the refund the money withdrawn. This appears to be one huge scam to dupe unsuspecting people into losing $1, 000's of dollars before the mess can be straightened out. I have since canceled my debit card and restricted access from any of these theives.

I hate your new set-up. Message reading screen needs to be wider, where I can read whole message at once. Why do you make things so difficult fo your users?

Google future employees beware!

Do yourself a favor and stay far far away from this company...they will promise you the moon by impressing you with their Beverly Hills corporate office, embellished portfolio and blatantly false hopes of making big commissions. Google the owner of the company and nothing appears, linkedin, facebook, nothing. Shady. Trust me, I learned the hard way and am warning you in advance.

Google bookmarks disappear

Overall I like the Google Chrome Browser except for one annoying problem. Sometimes, the Bookmarks I setup mysteriously disappear. For instance, I had set up a Medical Bookmark folder and placed a number of links inside it. It stayed there for many months and now today it's gone. I also setup a Global Bookmark (sort of the opposite to my Local Bookmark and today it's gone as well. It takes time to set up these Bookmarks and I come to rely on them except they just go away. I have several computers which are synced together and use the same Bookmarks and we almost never delete any of these Bookmarks. I really like this feature but it still has this MAJOR BUG!

Google incorrect location name (province)

Google Earth made the error of putting a line at roughly the following coordinates: 0.51'0823" N - 110.36'1640 E; 1.01'3148" S - 111.20'3036" E; 1'04'1146" S - 111.32'4754" E and then named the eastern part South Sumatera and western part West Kalimantan. The line does not exist and both area east and west of it should be West Kalimantan province in the Island of Kalimantan (Borneo). 0.01'1950"S - 109.18'2000" E is office of the mayor of the city of Pontianak, the capital of the Province (West Kalimantan) and 0.00'0000" - 109.19'2000" E is the Equator Monument marking the border between Southern Hemisphere and Northern Hemisphere . South Sumatera is located in the island of Sumatera to the east of Kalimantan (Borneo) island. Between the two provinces (and islands) are the islands of Bangka and Belitung, both part of the Province of Bangka Belitung. Google, please correct your data, it is annoying for us living in West Kalimantan to be mistaken as South Sumatera.

Google many issues while browsing

There are many issues in Chrome browser:
1. Minimize and maximize screen options for YouTube doesn't work properly in Chrome. Many times sound is played but no video appears.
2. Facebook hangs many times in Chrome.
3. Click on a link on a page and it opens a completely different site. This is really dangerous because it can cause virus attacks as well.
4. Many time Chrome consumes a lot of CPU cycles and memory of the system.

Could this explain keystroke lags, pages remaining in process loading well past the 30 second range, and some pages just flat out refusing to close?
