Oi! Enough already! Stop harassing people with your annoying calls, you total muppets!
Can you believe it? I had some dodgy charge from 'Google, MyFitnessPal' come out, and I'd already cancelled my card! Seriously, I thought the new number would fix things. Turns out, I was wrong. The bank said it got accessed somehow! Total nightmare.
Watch your back! This scammer rings you up claiming your Google account has been accessed from overseas. Don’t fall for it!
Just got a dodgy call from this number claiming to be "Google Australia." They were fishing for my account backup codes, saying someone in Germany was trying to mess with my details. When I didn’t fall for it and refused to reset my password, they just hung up! Total scam job, steer clear of this one!
This company is a complete joke, trying to siphon money off my son's account for a service he definitely doesn’t use! He’s only 9! Seriously, what’s wrong with you, Google? Get it together and stop targeting kids!
I just noticed money disappearing from my account! I demand a refund ASAP or I’ll be having a serious chat about it!
I experienced unauthorized charges to my account, totaling $33.50: multiple smaller charges of $0.89 (7 times), one larger charge of $8.49, one charge of $1.79, and another of $16.99. I was unaware of these transactions as I was working and not checking my phone. This situation was especially distressing as I’m already struggling financially. I attempted to lock my card and report it as stolen to prevent further charges while these transactions kept occurring.
This number called trying to obtain a pending authorization from my credit card. Knowing I use different cards for each transaction, I recognized it as a scam. Right after the call, I received a hang-up call from another number in Estonia at 6:52 AM, likely related to the stolen information these scammers had acquired.
This number appears to belong to an individual from India who is attempting fraud. They are enabled by Google, as they do not adequately verify their merchants or comply with statutory Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements.
I had two unauthorized charges on my account, each linked to this number with a receipt from "Bangaroo" in Sydney. I live in Queensland and did not authorize these payments, totaling $79.98.
I am experiencing a similar issue, where there’s a charge on my bank statement that I didn't authorize. Even after changing my bank cards, the charges keep occurring. If anyone has successfully stopped these payments, please share how you managed to do it.
This number claims to be affiliated with Google, but they attempted to use remote software like AnyDesk, which would likely violate their terms of service.
I have experienced similar suspicious calls and messages from this number multiple times over several years. Due to this recurring issue, I will be cancelling my card as a precautionary measure. I currently bank with ANZ.
I noticed a suspicious charge on my credit card that referenced this number. After investigating, I found out that it was actually related to a recent purchase of the Magic Rampage app from Google, and it was not a scam at all.
I noticed a charge of $43.99 on my credit card statement linked to this phone number, purporting to be from Google Storage in Pyrmont. I have reported this as a disputed transaction with ANZ.
I want to warn others about a number that appeared in my Google Play subscriptions. If you see this number listed without further details, it doesn't necessarily signify a scam. I mistakenly signed up for a three-month trial, leading to a hefty subscription charge, so always double-check your subscriptions.
There are comments suggesting that this number is a scam, but I believe that those people may not understand fully. This number is reportedly associated with Google Australia, which is based in Sydney.
I did not receive a call from this number; rather, it appeared on a transaction statement from my Westpac credit card. Like others reported here, it was supposedly associated with a Google payment, but I don't use Google Pay, which raised my suspicions. There was a $2 charge followed by a $2 refund the next day. I contacted Westpac, and they indicated this is often a tactic used to test if an active card can be accessed. Had I not canceled my card, they could have exploited it further.
My credit card has recently shown multiple small transactions described as "Google," and this phone number is referenced. The bank's fraud department has been alerted due to these suspicious charges. Please check your credit card statements closely, everyone.
There was no actual call, but I noticed a $17.00 charge on a credit card I had previously paid off and stopped using, although the account remains active. I believe banks should take issues like this more seriously, and I have reported this unauthorized charge to my bank for further investigation.
I noticed a charge of $69.99 that was deducted from my account, labeled as Google*google G.co/helppay.
SCAM ALERT - A fraudster withdrew money from my bank account! I've contacted my bank about it. The message claimed the charge was for OnlyFans, which is laughable because I’m a 65-year-old woman, and my husband would not authorize that!
This caller pretended to be from Google Ads and started off by asking for my Google account number. I responded rather rudely and hung up. The caller had an Indian accent. I have since blocked the number and reported the incident to Google, the Australian government’s anti-spam authority, and Telstra to have this number blacklisted.
We have received calls from this number before, and the bank was able to identify it as a scam. It seems this fraudster is targeting us again.
This number has called our reception multiple times, claiming that we have a scheduled call. They have contacted us twice today alone. The high volume of calls we have been getting from Google-related numbers is reaching the level of harassment.
Scam call pretending to be Google. They ask to share you screen so they can login to your computer to "help with your Google account"
100% a scam!
This call claimed to be from Google, but it is a scam. It's important to be cautious and not trust such calls.
This caller pretended to be from Google and asked me to share my screen with them so they could access my Google account. I advise everyone to be cautious and avoid engaging with such requests!
I called the number because I was alerted about unauthorized charges of $7.99 monthly. However, I was only met with an IVR system, and the call dropped after 5 minutes of waiting. I previously contacted my bank, and they confirmed the charges are not fraudulent and suggested I speak with the merchant instead. This has been incredibly frustrating, and I might need to consider creating a new Google account and canceling my card.
Claims to be Google but can tell me my company name I pay for Google adds so they have my company name.
I received a call claiming to be someone from Google double checking an address of one our store locations. After the address he had was wrong, he quickly ended the call.
