I attempted to purchase a google pixel 6 phone as a "guest" using my debit card on file with google. I had purchased a google pixel 6 phone as a gift some weeks prior and wanted one for myself. Google blocked the purchase and placed a "fraud" alert on my card. I contacted my bank and removed the fraud alert as it was not fraudulent activity, it was my activity attempting to use the card for purchase. Despite sending google required documents and speaking to google staff through chat and emails they have not released my account. This appears to be causing problems for me in other areas of online purchasing. Please help me resolve this issue.Business Response

I am still unable to make a purchase from Google store. I just attempted to male a purchase and a message popped up stating my card is on hold. There is no explanation or statement of requirements to remove the hold on the card. Please resolve this "hold" on my card through google store so I may continue to make purchases of google products and services.

I have edited and sent google maps different emails to try and correct the business address I have attached the screen shot in question I am an employee of the business and this has effected us, due to the incorrect address and map wrong map location where placing it in a residential area, restricts truck from getting fuel, as they are unable to drive through residential streets.
address of the said business should be at "******************************" and is generating as
"*************************************** which is a home address, and when disputed it does not get corrected reasoning due to "Google unable to verify your edit"

In April I signed up for Google Fi phone service. I immediately cancelled the subscription because I couldn't get coverage where I live. That was in April it is now going on August and I still haven't gotten a refund from my money every time I call I get told that there's somebody working on it but nobody can contact the person and the person doesn't contact me to find out what they're not telling me anything they won't do anything they're just trying to keep my money I don't know what it's about I don't know why they're doing it but I don't have anybody else to go to there's nobody else for me to go to I've asked for supervisors I get nothing they tell me that they can't get a hold of his supervisor so the president of the company is holding my money apparently and he's the only one that has access to my file which is ludicrous for them to even say that to something but it is what it is I just want my money back I have a total of $41.75 coming to me and I want my money back. In fact at this point I want a full refund for the entire cost because this is ridiculous just ridiculous which is $68.75 I believe is what they took out of my account.Business Response

Hello BBB Team,
Thank you for bringing the user's issue to our attention. We have fully reviewed the user's case and we see that they signed up and activated their Google ********** on March 25, 2022. Since we are a prepaid service, the first bill is generated 2 days after the user activates their service.
The user canceled their service on April 8, 2022. As per Google Fi policy, once the final bill is generated (which can take up to 60 days), if there is a credit remaining on the account, that is refunded to the user. It appears that we attempted to refund the user, however the refund was declined by their bank.
The user deleted their ********************** Pay account which deleted all of the information related to their Google Fi account including the billing statements. Although the user has created a new Pay account, it does not include information related to their Google Fi account. The user will need to continue working with our Google Pay team via case ID: *************** to manually process the refund back to their bank.
We ask that the BBB close this case.

I switched to Google fi from ******** I got a new phone when I switch to Fi. I loved it but I noticed I ran out of data very fast. My phone wouldn't work with out high speed data. Do I added on the extra $10 per gb they charge you after you use up you 50 gb of data. I contacted Fi support right away to try and resolve the high data usage that way coming from my phone. I was told they couldn't do anything to resolve my issue until my bill was generated. I contacted them again right away as soon as I seen the statement for an extra $194 I was going to be charged on top of my $65 unlimited plan! Then I was told that the data usage was coming from my device so they wouldn't remove the extra $194 add to my bill. They could have told me that the first time I contacted on the issue. Instead they told me not to worry that everything would be taken care if when I got my bill. That wasn't true they ignored the high data usage coming from my phone and ran my bill up to a total of $360.56 and told me I had tell the 29th of July to pay or they would shut it off. $360.56 for one month of cell phone service?? And that's just one line?? I could have paid my ******* bill for 6 months. I would like to send my phone back under warranty and have my bill taken care of.Business Response

My company, Mackinaw Timbers Cabins has a google business profile that currently shows 2 fraudulent (and erroneous) reviews. I reported these to google and google refused to take them down. As a small business, fraudulent, erroneous reviews are harmful to our business and, further, on principal, google shouldn't permit reviews from reviewers who aren't customers/patrons/or otherwise had dealings with the business they are reviewing. Further, erroneous and fraudulent reviews are unethical as well as being unhelpful to other google customers who rely on reviews to be authentic. Why doesn't google require some sort of verification/authentication that reviews are being left by actual customers/guests/patrons?Business Response

Google Case IDs: *********************************** were submitted and Google's response was not acceptable - - Please have someone from Google reach out to me directly to get this resolved as google's electronic communication has not been helpful and this issue likely requires direct - human to human interaction to resolve as it doesn't fit nicely into google's "policies" . The reviews being challenged are patently false, submitted by non-customers/patrons - so while they aren't hostile or harassing - they are invalid and need to be removed.

Hi,
Thanks for reaching out. After looking at the review and investigating its sources, we've determined that it does not violate our review guidelines, available here: https://goo.gle/2OKRQvH
Keep in mind, users are not required to use a real name when leaving reviews, so you may not recognize the name. We see you've responded to the review already, which is great! Responding to reviews can help future customers see your approach to customer service and know that you actively reach out to resolve any issues.

The Google service is suppose to help you navigate the phone to successfully get information and keep your data safe. My problem began when my phone broke and I was not able to use it anymore. I purchased a new phone and tried to retrieve my email account. Because the phone was broken this did not work. However I set up a new email account and Google has repeatedly locked me out of my work app sign in and other apps because of the old email on the new email account and I am unable to resolve this problem.

We own a business in Atlanta, since the first week of July we have been under attack from *********** ***** leaving us repeated fake 1-2 star reviews in clusters all within an hour of each other every day. They demand we pay them in Google play gift cards for them to stop.
We have reported and flagged each review and shown where these profiles are doing the same to businesses all over the world. We continue to receive automated responses from Google on this issue and zero action as we now have over 25 fake reviews on our profile, our case ID is ****************
This scam is heavily impacting our business, my mental health and the mental health of our staff and their families. Googles inaction is costing us thousands of dollars a day, we generally receive over 20 calls a day, since this started we have dropped to 2-4 a day.

i no longer have the date of the original transaction on hand. but, on 7/25/2022, my bank, USAA FSB, deamed my "purchase" as not fraudulent. the "purchase" in question is for ***** to a game made by KingsGroup. Both Google and KingsGroup have refused the refund. infact kingsgroup threaten me to charge me another ***** if i ever made another purchase and refused to removed the purchased items from my resources, so they accidently got used up after over a month of dealing with this. However, google, the middle men who offer the payment service, had changed their security settings on their backend, and since i needed biometric data in phone for my app for work to work, it removed all verification, without giving me a choice, to confirm making a purchase. what it was, was it would ask me for my pasword, which i prefer. what it became, and is currently, as soon as something activated that part of the screen, they make the purchase go through. Google has refused to fix this, and told me since it came from my phone, it MUST have been an autborized transaction from someone allowed to use my phone. What it was, and they refuse to let me dispute their decisions, was phantom touches on my screen. it was in my pocket, no one was using it, and it managed to open up the game and go to a package i would never purchase from that game manufacturer. So in otherwords, i am essentially being charged ***** i did not authorize because it was "raining"as rain drops can be used to simulate a similar effect.i want my money back and the issue, from google, resolved! no more charging people for phantom touches, or "being charged on account of it raining".Business Response

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I have already attempted to contact them several times via phone calls, text and email through official channels and they still refuse to help. Each time I contact them they demand I do something that is physically impossible and they tell me that if I don't do what they ask then they will not help me. I have had several "managers" hand up on me because they told me I am being unreasonable because I am unwilling to do what is physically impossible. FYI they continue to tell me unless I contact them from my home they will not provide any support, however the problem is service does not work at my home or the surrounding area. How is someone supposed to call when the problem is they can not call? Googles response is not acceptable to me because just like the others I have spoken to no one is taking the time to understand the problem and suggest a solution that is feasible.Business Response
