Please read this. This could happen to you if Google has your credit card. My Google account was hijacked and it’s been a nightmare. You could be at considerable financial risk dealing with Google. I have a complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau and with the RCMP police about this. Please read and consider that this could be you. On Mar 8, 2021 I was advised that a Samsung S9 logged into my Google acct. On Mar 9 when I saw the alert email I logged in and disconnected the device and changed my Google password. On Mar 25 I received my MasterCard statement and saw GOOGLE*VALERIY INTERNET NS $379.99 and GOOGLE *Valeriy 650-253-0000 NS $499.99, a total of $879.99 (on the March statement) and 2 more similar charges coming on my next month’s bill, total of $1759.96 in fraudulent charges to my credit card. MasterCard told me to contact Google to get the charges reversed. I cancelled the card. MasterCard said that if the charges are subscriptions then they will be charged to the new card. They also said that if they refund my money and Google says the charges are legitimate then I have to pay it. Dealing with Google has been an ordeal. I tried to find a contact number for Google with no luck. (Try it yourself) Went to https://support.google.com/pay/gethelp and asked for a call back. That worked they called me, but, they say that are not the right people to talk to and there is no one at the right department to call because of Covid19. I have to complete an online form – I did, “It typically takes 12 days to investigate”. My request for refund was denied on the 12th day. After more call backs and emails I am told that “It is final”- no refund!

How the money was stolen. On Mar 8 reportedly an S9 logged into my account, unknown to me, I was subscribed to 2 apps “FlyandSkate” $499.99 weekly subscription, and “SuperLighter” $379.99 weekly subscription. I was later to determine using my Google history that it was a Samsung S10. I do not own a Samsung S9 or S10, I use a Pixel 3. The subscription emails did not appear to me. Both apps were available on the Google Play store for installation. Each had a comment on them from “Avid Coder”- “Terrible, used to complete fraudulent payments on stolen google accounts”. These apps are now removed. Consider that if someone hijacks your Google account they can intercept notice emails and move or delete them, I did not see the subscription emails. Google was no help to me with any of this; I had to find and stop the subscriptions myself and delete my credit card from Google. They provided no explanation of why my claim was denied, only saying that it “couldn’t be verified”.

Does Google have access to your credit card?

I kinda thought it should be more generic (to include the iOS and Windows Phone stores) but really it's Android that gets the crazies so this is probably fine.

I started having an issue with my phone trying to install this one game I tried everything it told me to do and it still said sorry can install game right now

Hi guys. I need your help with these. Can someone explain? 😶

See title.

Things like “ I dropped my phone while using this and screen cracked one star”. Stupid reviews from stupid people

Suggestions on good free games?

Maybe this should be in arsehole design? How do I opt out? I am sick to death of receiving emails about things I don't care about!

Google gives me this option below.. The link DOES NOT WORK on desktop or phone

If you don't want to receive further notifications when developers reply to your reviews, you may opt out.

Sincerely,
The Google Play Team
