@leocg Presumably not if it were some piece of subscription based software.. They all love their scammy little automatic subscription initiations that you must agree to in order to access a "free" trial. That should be illegal, but I digress. Still racking my brain and apps list for any errant installs. The charge went through today too.

@leocg Are you asking me or telling me? the only things I commonly pay for using google pay are rides with uber or lyft. In those cases yes, I am always asked to confirm the purchase and the payment method before it will work.

@kearawill1122 Hi, thanks for your reply. I have done all of those things, with the exception of contacting google and the credit card company. Mostly because I don't expect them to do much of anything to help and I know it will be a painful experience.

@leocg No, the text was not just a one-off. It came from the same number as all of the other declined transaction notifications I have received in the past. It seems like the charge would have gone through if I had had sufficient balance. Looks like being broke paid off for once. ha.

@leocg No, I don't even have any payment cards registered on my opera account. The card in question is one of my google payment methods though. At first I thought the charge was related to my Google One subscription, which is the one and only active subscription I have, but that costs less than 2 bucks a month and I can see a record of each payment I made going back to the first so the mystery continues. When it opens I suppose I'll try contacting the credit card company.

@sgunhouse I just checked and no, there is no VPN subscription active on my account.

I just got a notification of an attempted charge to my credit card for 11.55 from "GOOGLE *Opera Software". My card was declined twice due to insufficient balance but that's no longer the case. I have absolutely no idea what for and really would rather not have to pay money for nothing. Can someone tell me how to stop the payment, or at very least explain what I'm supposed to have purchased or how to find out?
Thanks.
