Google Unauthorized Debit Card Charges

On June 28th, 2021, I went to look at my debit card/bank balance (Bank of America). To my complete shock, I found that my account had .17 cents left in it. I had a little over 1, 000.00. I seen and counted over 315 charges for 5$ each, all from "GOOGLE *Google Play, g.co/helppay#, California".

I immediately called Bank of America and they connected me to the fraud department, but stated they were not 100% sure they would be able to refund my money. They stated someone had ran my card, one 5$ charge after another and EVERY charge was from GOOGLE, until my account was completely drained.

My bank advised me to call Google and I could get my money back faster. Well, that did absolutely no good! Google does not have a working phone number and I submitted a request online, GOOGLE's response was, "call your bank"? Disgusting. GOOGLE cannot refund my money? This is fraud! They don't care. My bank did end up refunding me, after 2 months! Glad I didn't starve to death or something...like GOOGLE WOULD CARE! [protected]@gmail.com

Desired outcome: Would like Google to be held responsible!

Google Google Pay

On July 17, google pay request and received funds from my Verizon account for a subscription.

The subscription was subsequently cancelled. I contacted lingo deer requested a refund. Lingo deer complied and indicated funds would be returned. I waited and contacted lingo deer again. Lingo deer stated the subscription was cancelled and that google pay is holding my refund.

I've contacted google pay multiple times requesting the return of my money and google pay states "they don't have my money."

I contacted Verizon and am provided with the transaction id and authorization code of google pay requested and receiving these funds. Verizon has no record of the google pay cancelling this request or the funds being returned.

I am requesting contact with a person to resolve this matter and return my money.

Desired outcome: REFUND

Google opening times

I have three google listings, for my three separate companies. Every day we have to change the opening times because Google keeps changing them.

Can you please leave my listings alone or explain to me why you feel the need to change them.

You are massively causing a negative impact on my business and I've had enough now this is completely unacceptable and my customers are very unhappy which will lead to bad reviews, I cannot afford for that to happen.

Desired outcome: STOP CHANGING MY OPENING TIMES

Google Google ad

I recently used the Google App on my phone to book a hotel reservation in the Mespil Hotel Dublin. I inserted Mespil Hotel into the Google search box. A website appeared as follows https://mespilhotel.guestreservations.com. I was mislead into thinking that this was the hotel website. I was scammed for €179.07 when the room was advertised as selling at €132.00. There was obviously small print advising of extra taxes and charges that were well hidden

I tried to cancel the reservation but it was virtually impossible. The reservation email they sent me did not have no reply in the address. When I tried to email them it bounced back immediately. I finally discovered how to cancel only to realise that the cancellation policy did not apply in my case as cancellations had to be made 48 hours before date of arrival and I was booking for the next day. My main issue is the misleading name of the website. It should not be allowed. I have deleted my Google App in protest and will use Safari

Desired outcome: Remove this ad as it does not appear when you type Mespil Hotel into your search engine on a PC

Google Google ADs

On the night of August 17, 2021 my bank made me aware of two suspicious transactions worth 50 and 100 euros (Rs. 4473.8 and Rs. 8947.7) made using my debit card. With all the details available to me, I figured out it was an unauthorized charge by Google ads while I never had a Google ad account before. I never gave anyone password to any of my Google account or access to any of my devices. I had 2-Factor Authentication activated on my Google account and I was never prompted by Google for a login. There are only two devices I ever logged onto that Google account and both the devices were present with me.

I later found out that the scammer had created a filter on my mail to move all the Google emails to trash, and I kept wondering how they still had access to my account despite changing password and revoking access from the logged in devices.

I was lucky for my bank's prompt actions they blocked my card immediately and made my statements available, so I cancelled the Google ad account and requested the refund. I've been promised a refund by August 24, 2021 and also made a complaint but there hasn't been much updates from Google apart from automated mails.

I'm also worried about losing a huge chunk of money to Euro and Rupees conversion in my final refund.

Desired outcome: Proper actions against such scams from Google and refund of the actual amount that was initially debited from my bank in Rupees.

Google $399.99 charge by “GOOGLE *Amazpay”

I had woken up to an attempted $399.99 charge "GOOGLE *Amazpay" at 3 in the morning and saw that the same card attempted to be used was charged for $0.99 a couple days earlier. It would be nice to know exactly how my credit card information was stolen because I do not give it out to people and I want to prevent further fraudulent charges like this.

I got a charge of $1.34 (Cdn - about $0.99 US) a few days ago from Google*Amazpay. I have cancelled my card. I did not make a purchase with them. Looks like they test the cards with a one-dollar charge, first, to see if they work.

Google Unauthorized credit card charges

RITA NEMAN = THEIF! This morning I was woken up by a call on my day off from my bank claiming a charge that was made at 3 am that morning that looked to be suspicious and asked me if it was fraudulent. The charge was $389.99 from Google* Rita Neman. I had noticed there was another charge for $0.99 made 3 days earlier from the same person, Rita Neman who fraudulently made a purchase through Google Support in which I was going to call my bank later that same morning to report the fraud. I told my bank the charges that were made were in fact fraudulent and they said they will make a claim with VISA to credit my account. However, they ended up having to close my VISA card and I will be waiting to have another one sent to me in 7 - 10 business days. I hope they catch this Rita Neman person and she goes to jail for fraud. If it wasn't her, then I hope the person(s) responsible spend many years behind bars since having to deal with this sucked up an hour out of my day. Doing a quick Google search of Rita Neman, I have discovered a few others have had their credit cards fraudulently used by the same person for the same amount. I have now removed any and all credit cards from my Gmail account and everything Google including a link to my PayPal account. I will only use an autopay features through my utility companies who clearly have much better cyber protection than Google does. I honestly hate Google and hope they go the way Yahoo did in the early 2000s, however, I have to admit, Android is a much better smartphone os than Apple's so I am stuck with Google until they are either bought out by someone else or something better is developed.

Desired outcome: I want my credit card credited the money stolen and I also want to prosecute the person who did this

Google Fraudulent charge

This morning there was a charge of $389.99..."payee" was Google Rita Neman. Charge has been disputed through my bank...my understanding is that the play store causes many problems for the banks. I am. It happy.

I am not sure why you need 350 characters to see this post. A complaint should be addressed when one is articulate enough to explain everything in less than 300 words.

Desired outcome: Return of my money!
