Google Unauthorized charge

I see a pending charge for $9.99 today on my debit checking account. No clue how to contact GLU games Inc. of mountain view ca telepathically. This game of charging me for things I do not order or authorize is getting old. It is criminal and time-consuming to undo. Please advise!

Google Youtube ads

The ads in the youtube app are getting more in aproriate by the day. Today I saw an add that went too far. It showed a picture of a girl with the text in dutch "f*** them here in the a**".
I don't know why I get all these dating ads but I keep reporting them as inapropriate. This doesn't help.

I dont know who approved this add but I am considering quitting youtube.

Google Google maps

I have sent 8 emails about the wrong map information on my home. Eight! and you still don't have it right! My house is BEHIND 2063 Smyers on a flag lot accessed by a dirt road. You have made a correction but used the wrong dirt road farther down Smyers. All you have to do to place 2065 Smyers is pull up 2063 Smyers on your map. You will see adjacent to 2063 is a dirt road that leads to the rear of a 4 ac parcel. My house sits to the rear of this parcel and is visible as a shaded area on your map.

If I suffer any harm from delayed response from firefighters, etc due to their use of your incorrect map info (even though I have attempted to get you to correct it numerous times) you'll will be hearing from me.

Google I received a lewd email from [protected]@gmail.com

To my work cell I received a lewd text from email "[protected]@gmail.com." Why do you allow some hooker to contact me through my work phone? I want you to stop this today. What responsibility will you take to resolve this and make sure it doesn't happen again? My work cell is [protected]. This was sent to me and 11 other people who probably don't want this crap either.

Google unauthorised withdrawal.

Someone used my info to buy stuff. Your wise people told me it was my fault. That there was no way to find out what was bought or where it went. Hard to believe. I supposedly bought whatever this is. Are I got was your fault. No one wants to answer my questions. Why? When the phone rep hung up on me. I was frustrated but didn't tell or cuss. Just some answers. Is that hard? Your worth billions and me on disability have to eat 111.55. Love to be treated like I don't matter.

Google I have requested on two occasions that I require access to my deceased childs account.

On the 2nd January 2020, my son Ruan Booyens unfortunately took his life, it was sudden and unexpected. We believe that his email account contains critical information relating to why he may have taken his life.

Ruan and i corresponded regularly to and from his account. Your assistance in this matter will be highly appreciated.

Ruan Booyens email [protected]@gmail.com

On both occasions i have submitted the death certificate and i have had no response. Please could you assist urgently, i am his Father. I require very important information that may be in mails that were sent to and from this account.

Google pixel 3

When the 10 upgrade was installed, my PIxel 3, purchased November 22, 2019, lost many functions, including data, internet, notification sounds, screen notification, home screen button, and more.

I was offered a refurbished replacement only for a phone I just purchased new. This is unacceptable.

I was told I could get a new phone if I sent this one in - and you determined there was a problem. You already know there is a problem! You have over a year of these documented.

The problem is, I only have one phone. This is not possible. Looks good on paper, Google, but it is a non-option for us run of the mill people, which are the vast majority of your customers.

You cannot make this right with a refurbished phone. It will NOT have the life in it that a new phone has. You know it and so do I.

So do the right thing and send me a new phone.

Google recaptcha 'false negatives' and often irritatingly slow

Recaptcha is too difficult to use and is often prone to false negatives.

The worst are the "slow fade-in fade-out" types. Nearly always, they fail and force me to re-try.

Today, when trying to use a web site that uses a lot of captchas to filter out spam, I was temporarily blocked because (supposedly) my computer was using "automated posting" or something similarly wrong. I assure you, it is not.

If in a sequence of 5 or 6 "next" presses, I acidentally miss something, why is it that I have to go all the way to the end to get the "failure" message?

Why is it that the things i'm supposed to see in those pictures are too small to read on my screen? Why is there no zoomin feature?

Are you trying to irritate people instead of just filtering out the bots?

Fix your service! It is *worse* than merely *irritating* and has gotten really bad in the last couple of months.

That exact one looks to me to be Disney plus subscription.. at least it is on mine, says that exact description "Google play Ap. G. Co/Helppay # GB" on my bank withdrawal, and looked up on the budget and history under google play stores subscription and payments in your profile..

Dunno if this helps narrow things down?

I have had an unauthorised 22.95€ taken from my account. What makes this worse is that I have a Huawei phone which cannot use Google due to legal concerns over the Chinese manufacturer. This must be a scam.

I was aware my son was using his grandmother's card on the Xbox and PS4 and was maybe doing more than he was reporting back to us. Luckily Epic games only lets you gift a total of 5 gifts to Give people every 24hr cycle. We weren't too concerned until the bills came. I got the mail and I opened it up curiously to see what damage he had done, being it wasn't my mail, shhhh. As I began to read and scroll my eyes to the bottom of the page, I almost went into cardiac arrest at the sight of the statements. I couldn't breath more less tell granny dearest that her beloved grandson made 104 transactions in all of a 24 hours day. I was scared and confused I decided to hide the bank statement until I could figure out what to say, on the plus side she hadnt noticed anything yet so I had a little time to try and fix what I could. A month went by and another statement had made it to the mailbox, I was feeling [censored]ty but I opened the mail anyway hoping and expecting to see some sort of info that would lift the monkey from my back, but I was in utter shock to find another 4 pages of unauthorized charges made on the account. This continued from March until September, whenever granny finally checked her account she was alarmed to discover in two days she was missing $800-$900 from the prior day when she had only made a $60 withdrawal. At that moment she contacted Chase bank to address the missing funds with a bank representative. I didn't know until now that Google was the blame. I thought my son was the bandit managing to buy and spend over $9,000 in vbucks and manage to hide it for so long. She got her money back, some of it at least, leaving kid in a state of shock, beings that now he doesn't have access to his account on Sony bc they permanently locked the account. The Xbox was mine account, it wasn't blocked by microsoft only stripped of some of the items purchased. The Fortnite account my son lost access to still has close to 5,000 in locker items. Held up for a ransom Sony blamed my son not Google or Microsoft for the numerous unauthorized charges and 2 years later, still locked and blocked. All the games purchased before the [censored]ery, were bought and paid for yet Sony restricts the account to this day. Knowing now it wasn't even my son doing the [censored]ing this was a 3rd party [censored] up and overall it robbed us if what we paid for and now we're still in the dust. I posted the [censored]ery so you guys reading can see for yourself. Does anyone know how to go about resubmitting a request to unlock a Sony account when this type of [censored] occurs? Fyi, if u play Fortnite, make your epic account a full epic account that way you can still access your account and the property you paid for without the middle man meddling in your private business. Crazy thing is, it's all Microsoft and Google transactions, not playstation so where do these people get the ok to lock and ban accounts at their will without even touching base first? Crazy

Google map

You are following the postal map in placing my house. Your google map show's my house ( 182 ashaway rd, ashaway, RI, 02804) at the location of 139 ashaway rd, ashaway, ri, 02804, a vacant lot. Ins company has canceled ins twice now and tried to come and take pic's and had to call me to find it. My house is in the ashaway district, it is located in south hopkinton, between ashaway and bradford. I tried to edit it but it doesn't change. It still says my house is in bradford. Wrong town, wrong district, wrong fire dept, wrong police. Those dept do not respond to 911 call. Bradford post office doesn't deliver mail to my house, ashaway post office doesn't deliver mail to my house. I told them to put me correctly or [censored] yourself and return it to sender. So, I get no mail now, big deal who cares. Fix it please so people can find my house. Thank you
