I noticed a payment to Google for advertising, this clearly was an unsolicited payment. I have had a lot of mailshots from Google recently, showing up on my phone, but I have no payment details at all on my phone, so not able to accidently click a button and make a payment. Of course these Google emails are probably phishing exercises and kept for reference in the achives folder.
Anyone else had any Google mysteries.?
Probably phishing but take a look at
Oh countless. I got what I thought was a phishing scam from someone purporting to be EDF's meter readers. Requesting my readings. But I had just read the meter so I ignored it.

Best to be safe..
Thanks very useful.
If it is on your current account then tell your bank it is a fraudulent withdrawal and get them to sort it out.
Someone opened up a Google Ad account in my name in December. They used an ancient credit card number of mine and my old demon e-mail address. I got a security alert on gmail blocking the account. The perp was in Brazil .

Nothing to do with us and we didn't use Internet banking at that point.
Bank refunded.
I thought Harry Bloomfield reported a similar issue here a few weeks ago, maybe he hasn't seen this thread?
