A scam involving unauthorized Google charges is hitting bank accounts across the country including right here in Indiana.The charges are totally bogus but appear to be coming from Google and Google Play, and typically there’s more than one on your credit or debit card.
WRTV Investigates found customers from other banks across the country who’ve also been hit with bogus Google charges.The amounts often start small, because the scammers hope you won’t notice. The best thing you can do is to regularly check your banking statements and look for unauthorized charges, even if they’re small.Anita Caincross is sharing what happened to spread awareness about phony Google charges.
WRTV Investigates has reached out to Google via email and phone and we are still waiting to hear back.We have not seen any specific uptick related to this scam, however, Fifth Third takes fraud very seriously and continues to monitor trends and mitigate risks for our customers.
