Does anyone know why Google might have charged me $0.52 for
"merchandise" last Nov. 2 and then returned it Nov. 22, and then charged
me $2.11 today?

last month I used the card to pay for heating oil and that costs so much
I didn't notice that the same day as the heating oil, Google charged me
$0.52 for merhandise and October 16 Google *Hongwen charged me $1.05 for phone/cable.

Some or all of this must have to do with the cell phone. Tunein once
tricked** me into signing up for a month but I went to the credit card
and disabled all the automatic payment abiltiy, I thought. I will chack
one that, but assuming I didn't or it was able to create new authority,
what could 2.11 and 1.05 be for?

Sept 2 there is also a $0.52 charge for "internet" and August 4 there is
a google *Kanetik charge for $2.11 for "internet".


**I don't remember every clicking on premium, but when it started I was
busy and figured after the free month, I'd have to pay, to do something
to pay, but because I had once paid for another app, google had my
credit card and paid tunein when the 2nd month started. They usually
switch to tunein premium at night for everyone and it's works in a very annoying way, bouncing back and forth during what would be commercials
to something from earlier in the day, often in the middle of a word.
Often repeating 30 seconds 2 or 3 times. Of course without premium,
there are long chunks of commercials.

GOOGLE *Kanetik is from when I bought the Wakey app, which is supposed
to keep the screen lit up when apps I've listed in it are running. It
slightly works.

The same method I used to figure this out did not work for
Google *Hongwen and entering Hongwen in the Playstore app found a
bunch of apps, none of which I have. But okay, I probably did buy
something.

But I haven't bought anything in the last 2 months, certainly not today.

I have not looked, but Google as a vendor must have a link somewhere in
your profile listing everything you have purchased from them.

myaccount.google.com
Even after logging in, this was sort of a dead end.

https://play.google.com/store/account/orderhistory?pli=1
Which it calls Order History.

Each item has a place to report a problem, and one of the reasons you
can give is that you purchased it by accident. I should have doned
that with Tunein. I'll do better next time.


The 1.5 on Oct 16 was for Trim Recording, it may be called. The icon
looks different. Image of a microphone but I bought one with VA in it
for Voice Activation, and this one doesn't have that. Anyhow, it's
voice activated and works pretty well. The same company had another one
that it said was voice activated but reading the settings it said to get
this one.

Finally: 3 payments of $0.52 cent for Google One. I don't remember
signing up for that. And why was the 3rd refunded but not the first
two. I will have to look into google one.

I have seen the page but I don't know what it is. The page asks
question before starting which I don't know yet what to answer.

It might be disk space for google drive and backups :-?

Exactly as she said: people who have stolen credit-card numbers start
small, because they know that most people ignore small charges. (You
worked pretty hard in a couple articles to explain why you actually
made these charges that you have no memory of.)

It's for exactly this reason that I have an alert set on each of my
credit cards to text me when there's any charge to my card, in any
amount.

Most credit-card providers have a dedicated phone number for
reporting frauds and possible frauds. The agent will be able to give
you more information than appears online or on your paper statement,
and that will help you decide whether your credit card has been
compromised.

If it hasn't, great. But if it has, you want your bank to know ASAP
because you're legally on the hook for charges, even fraudulent ones,
if you don't report them within a certain time. Yes, many banks give
greater protection than the minimum the law requires, but why take
chances?

I just had a look. I opened gmail on the computer, then looked at the
apps offerings (I hoped to see "google pay" or similar). I saw:

https://store.google.com Seems to be a shop for google gadgets.

https://www.blogger.com For writing blogs.

https://www.google.com/finance Stock market info

https://shopping.google.com I see Apple AirPods, Samsung Galaxy, Playstation, Nintendo, tea mugs, Legos, flowers, wool, Singer sewing machine

https://chromewebstore.google.com Unsure :-? Addons for Chrome?

https://ads.google.com/home Purchase adds, I think.

https://one.google.com ??

https://jamboard.google.com No idea.



So I just invented an URL, and entered https://pay.google.com, which got expanded to

https://payments.google.com/

and does contain my payments! Of Google Apps. It knows my credit/debit
cards. So I try a new invented URL:

https://wallet.google.com/

But this one doesn't know my app wallet from the phone, and offers to
install the app (which is installed already). I use it, I hoped it would
list my payments made with the Wallet App.



So I found where to see app related purchases, but not everything I paid.

Yes, I think that's what it is, but I don't remember signing up for that either.

A couple years back I did find a whole bunch of my photos on the google website, even though I didn't do anything that I recall to put them
there, but it didn't have the tourist photos that were in the phone that
was stolen in 2019. I'm not too upset at th emissing photos. I have
plenty more.

(I was glad that I took 2 debit cards and 2 credit cards on the trips
and only had one of each in my wallet. My wallet was stolen too. So I
lost some money but really wasn't inconvenienced at all.)

But there were no 52 cent charges back then. Maybe it was free and now I
need more? and more costs money? But how come it didn't give me more
and start charging me when it stopped copying my photos some time before
spring of 2019?

Rhetorical questions I don't expect people here to answer. The ways of
a computer are like the ways of a woman, hard to understand.

Someone has stolen your credit card information and is testing to

I didn't see anywhere you acknowledged Cindy, and you should, because
I'm pretty sure her explanation is the correct one.

I had already done so further down when I said that if Carlos was not
right then Cindy was right.

Exactly as she said: people who have stolen credit-card numbers start
small, because they know that most people ignore small charges. (You
worked pretty hard in a couple articles to explain why you actually
made these charges that you have no memory of.)

It's for exactly this reason that I have an alert set on each of my
credit cards to text me when there's any charge to my card, in any
amount.

So do I and I think I got an alert for the last of these little charges
but not for the ones last month!! I will have to review again.

Although the minimum on one card to get an alert is $1 and this one was 52cents. Maybe the alert was not because of the 52 cents but the $2 for
the app. I always set the amount at the minimum, but the minimum is
never only 1 cent.

Most credit-card providers have a dedicated phone number for
reporting frauds and possible frauds. The agent will be able to give
you more information than appears online or on your paper statement,
and that will help you decide whether your credit card has been
compromised.

When my wallet was stolen in the spring of 2019, I was in Europe and I
called one bank, fine, and I tried to call the other Sat. morning and
the recording said the system was down. I continued to try to call
(using phones borrowed from strangers) and tried via computer (from some
coffee shop with a computer people could use) until Sunday afternoon
before I got through on either the phone or the computer. When I got
home, I tried to write them to tell them that the reporting software
should be on a separate system that never goes down because it only does
one simple thing and never needs updating, but they have no email
address. I resorted to telling one of their people on the phone but I
dont' know if they ever fixed it. This is a big bank but one no one on
the east coast has ever heard of.

Meanwhile, there were no charges on either card (from different banks),

If it hasn't, great. But if it has, you want your bank to know ASAP
because you're legally on the hook for charges, even fraudulent ones,
if you don't report them within a certain time. Yes, many banks give
greater protection than the minimum the law requires, but why take
chances?

Thanks for the warning.

April 24th Youtube charged me 4.23 and May 3 it charged $3.17 for
"other". Now we're talking real money. I've never watched more than a
minute or 2 on the phone on youtube, although maybe if Youtube is owned
by google, so this refers to movies I watched on the computer. That
would be fine. I have done that. That's probably what this is.

No more strange charges until I go back to December.

Last December there are 3 Amazon charges but this isnt' the card I use
for Amazon. Aha, wouldn't charges show up on this credit card's bill if
I were using points from this credit card? Yes, I think that is it!!!
Good

The online statements for Capitol One only go back a year. (Capitol One
is the one I got for "no foreign transaction fees" and then when I was
abroad, it wouldn't let me log in until it verified it was me by sending
a text or phone call to my phone, but it only had my USA number. I
didn't know my foreign number until I got there. And it wouldn't use an
email instead and when I called the 800 number as instructed, she
wouldn't make it better. She said I should have used the phone app
before I left the USA, which implies that the phone would still have
worked even though the phone number would have changed. I'm not sure
that's true and they never told me to use it anyhow. I use the computer
for bank statements.)

Thanks.

They want to verify it's me with a method I personally find too
burdensome (Cindy will tell you how lazy I can be.) :

Google wants to make sure it's you trying to view your Google Payments
info
email@gmail.com

Get your Redmi Note 8 Pro (It's not even turned on.)
Open the Settings app
Tap Google
Choose your account, if it not already selected
Tap Manage your Google Account
Select the Security tab (you may need to scroll to the right)
Under "Signing in to Google" tap Security code
Choose an account to get your code

Maybe I'll do this later when the phone is on, but now I figured maybe
they sent me an email too. They hadn't but it reminded me I haven't
been reading my gmail. I tried to forward it to my pop3 mailreader but haven't succeeeded yet. So no wonder I don't know about these charges.
(I forget that gmail even exists.) The most recent gmail says I'm now subscribed to 100GB of google one for 2.10 a month. I don't remember
ever doing that, and that's 25 dollars a year. That's real money.
Considering I do nothing important on the phone except take pictures
that I normally back up myself, it's probably too much.

How did they go from $0.52 each month for 2 months to 2.10/month? I
know I have not subscribed to anything in the last two months.

There are vampire uses of electricity, things we don't notice, and there
are vampire suckers of money too.

that's music subscriptions, one-off charges for movies, android app >purchases, nexus/chromecast/pixel devices ... going back to 2011.

Thanks.
They want to verify it's me with a method I personally find too
burdensome

I simply login with my google password, no 2FA etc, though I do have a
phone number and address registered with them.

Google wants to make sure it's you trying to view your Google Payments
info

As you'd expect ...

You have to turn on POP3 within your gmail account on line, then jump
through hoops to establish proper security with your device.

Aha. I didn't know about turning on Pop3. I'll look for that!

I took part of your first line "turn on POP3 within your gmail account"
and googled it and I'm working on it now.

I think I did sign up for Google One when the amount of unread google
mail exceeded some limit, and I was supposed to make a bigger effort to
read it, delete it, and stop paying for storage. No, could that be it
when there are only 2300 gmails stored there? We shall see.

Regardless, I definitely should read my gmail and this will make it
happen.

I had already set up a gmail persona in my pop reader, but not done the
part you explain above, Bob.
