Google 2 Five Dollar charges

I want to request a refund for the 2 $5.00 charges on my debit card on Oct 16, 2021. I did not allow these charges to be done. The charges say Google*Google P G co/helppay#CA. This is a scam. Please correct. This took place at Price Chopper located at 12010 W 63rd St in Shawnee Kansas. My debit card is from Central Bank of the Midwest 6114 Nieman Rd Shawnee, Ks 66203. Also see my receipt from Price Chopper for $27.75 that includes a $5.00 charge for First Responder. This is separate from the other 2 $5.00 charges.
My name and address is Patricia Scott
10010 W 53rd St
Merriam, Ks 66203

Desired outcome: Refund

Google sharing between phone number, and email

I am an inmate of the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Corrections, currently residing at the Alvis Terry Collins Reentry Center, 16643 State Route 104, Chillicothe Ohio 45601, furloughed to a program called "transitional control" for the specific purpose to gain employment before my final release, on January 18, 2022, in order to earn money with which to pay for rent so that I am not released into homelessness. In early September 2021, I purchased a phone from Total Wireless, which is tangled up with Google in ways that will not allow me control of my own security needs, and therefore, Google has assumed responsibility for those security needs in any matter concerning that phone.
Google failed to protect my online privacy when another, Robert Darryl Williams, submitted an online job application through one of the job recruiting sites; probably Indeed.com, but this problem has spread, like a virus, to all of the recruiting sites and now none will accept my email ᾿address. I cannot even complain to those sites, as any complaint must include an email address as a "required field". While Google imposes many of its online protections which I do not feel as necessary, Google overlooked this glitch.
Mr. Williams' job application displayed his name but my phone number, [protected]. This glitch has had a serious detrimental effect upon all of my job search efforts as the recruiting sites are the only manner (compounded by Covid-19concerns) in which an inmate of the Alvis House can seek employment. I have changed my email address six times and still the recruiting sites will not accept it because Google, from within the phone, ties the emails together. This last time that I changed the email, I also changed the phone number, but then Google, without my approval, linked the old phone number to the new, including the email addresses, without even considering that that might have been the very reason that I had to change the phone number.
Google and Total Wireless owes me for at least two months of back-pay which I would have earned had this problem not occurred, probably also for my frustration in uncovering the source of this problem; many hours of online investigating which is not my forté, and reasonable legal fees.
I intend to name Google and Total Wireless in a coming civil action.

Here is an excerpt from the Google search engine when asked why someone would change their cell phone number,
which demonstrates at least that Google should reasonably have known that when I changed my phone number,
it was because I did not want some one to have the new number; I was being excluded from using any and all job
search websites due to an anomaly in which some one else's name had been linked to my phone number and email
address, while one or more of those recruiting sites were failing to clear prior job applications. I'd gotten caught up
in this anomaly when I, innocently, tried to apply for a job on one of these recruiting sites only to have my email
address (which is a "Required Field on the applications) rejected because the site still had unfinished application of
another applicant, who I later learned is Robert Darryl Williams; Mr. Williams is now working at Tumbleweed
restaurant here in Chillicothe but (at least) one of his unfinished job applications is still in the system blocking all of
my attempts to use any (or all due to sharing between the sites) of the sites. My email is rejected stating either that
it is "email already in use" or "invalid email". For months I have endured this frustration. In my position, recruiting
websites, Indeed.com, Zip recruiter etc., is the only way I can get a job, without which I will be released from prison
on January 18, 2022 (three months from now) into the homelessness void. Google not only failed to protect my
online by allowing another to use my phone number in an online job application, but also aggravated the problem
by linking my old number with the new then sharing it with these recruiting sites. I can't afford to change my number
again, I DON'T HAVE A JOB, I don't have a card to make any payments from in this prison, and I can't simply walk to
any Wal Mart to do so. Google can expect for me to file a civil action about this within the next few weeks. But given
the above excerpt showing that Goolge "should reasonably have known" that my reason for changing the phone
number was the old number was (somehow) detrimental to my needs, I intend also to seek punitive damages.

Google Google aviva sun

I have 7 charges of $3.99 on my bank statement. I don't know how they got that information. But I don't know what I did to get those charges. I did get some apps but I didn't know they were charging for them. I will delete them if I can get my money back. I don't want to pay for any apps. How they got my information I don't know. Please refund my account and let me know what apps to delete. I will get a different debit card and account because of this. My name is Charlotte Stilwell. My mobile is [protected]. I did set up a two security cameras but didn't know there were charges to them either. If so I will take them down. Please let me know what charges these are and how I can get a refund.

Desired outcome: 3.99 refund 7 times equal 27.93 so far. Haven checked for anymore.

Google Ratings

I have one fake review and one blatant lie as a review. Google needs to get its act together and realize the reviews can be used in bad faith. Both of the reviews we received were in bad faith and need to be deleted. Izaiah Dawson wrote a 1 star review for Blaze Technology with no text. This is NOT a custoemr of ours. Interestingly, this review happened right after a false review from Mi King. She outright lies about her interaction with "the owner", which the person she was conversing with was not the owner. This person was treated with the highest respect. She just wanted a bunch of free services. We had to decline her business. This is garbage!

Desired outcome: Remove the bad ratings because they are both lies

Google Mobile phone warranty repair/replacement

1. I purchased a Pixel 4a 5G mobile phone June 23, 2021
2. My Pixel phone stopped functioning August 21, 2021
3. I shipped my mobile phone to Google Warranty Services as per instructed August 23, 2021
4. Google received my device for repair or replacement August 25, 2021 (Google stated that my phone would be repaired or replaced under warranty)
5. As of today (Monday, October 11, 2021) a new or repaired phone has not been returned to me

What IS Google's warranty service program? Mow many more months will I need to wait in order for Google to decide what they will do to follow THEIR own warranty policy? How does Google stay in business treating their customers this way?

Desired outcome: I would like my device returned

Google Peak toy blast or tune blast

This game is a [censored]ing joke, totally read then you can see it obviously! You'll get down to one last move and won't have any possible options… I'm over level 2000 on both games and have watched the repetitive nature of certain days you cannot beat the game to clear a level… It's obviously rigged and extremely frustrating! These games are [censored]ing cheating! When I first started playing the game I actually paid to get boosters to clear levels but now that I've seen the way that it's rigged, I'll never give another penny! People do not give your money to these games, there's no point!

Desired outcome: Stop the rigged/cheating and just play FAIR!

My 9 year old daughter accidentally downloaded an app called FortuneScope live palm reader and fortune teller on 12/08/21 from the Google Play store without my permission, not realising the cost involved. I am a single mother on a part time salary and this purchase has left me in debt. Paypal refused to refund me and told me to contact Google. They advised me to contact the app developer who did not answer any of my emails. Google are passing responsibility for a refund to them and refusing to issue one.

Google Privacy

Google is always listening, always building it's profile or version of me. I absolutely hate being reduced to the dollars that can be sucked from me. YouTube is constant ads, my newsfeed limits what news reaches me and often the sources provided demand money or deny me basic information that affects us all. I just want to listen to some music, have a bit of entertainment, communicate with my people, look up a variety
of information, and explore the world a bit. Why should this cost me the sole ownership of me? I already pay every month to access the internet, have phone and texting service, and purchase this-that-and the other online. The ads are wasted on me.

Desired outcome: STOP lurking everywhere stealing pieces of me as they bombard me with products and services I quickly resent from these tactics.

Google Unauthorized credit card charges

Hi there,
I hereby report unauthorized debits:
6 x "15/09/2021 ACQUISTO POS GOOGLE Aviva Sun Mountain View US - $ 2.84"

1 x "03/10/2021 PRENOTAZIONE ACQUISTO POS GOOGLE IGG MobileGame Mountain View US - $ 3.79"

I do not know these companies / products and can also rule out that a relative made these expenses.

Presumably someone is abusing a fake Google identity for these charges.

Can these amounts be refunded?

I think I don't have a payment account with Google at all.
My e-mail addresses to check it:
felix.[protected]@hotmail.it or

Kind regards,
Felix Huber
