I hope this will be my final comment on this thread, but I figured out what went wrong. About 6 months ago, my 2yr old daughter was playing with the tablet, and spent $50. I got an email thanking me for the purchase, so I immediately tried to refund it (but I was too late), and I searched around and discovered the ability to create a PIN for purchases, to prevent it from happening again.
I know now, but I didn't know then, that I should have contacted google wallet. At the time, I tried to contact Android Market, or Google Play, whatever they were called at the time. To this day, as far as I can tell, there is no way to contact google play. I called american express. Explained that it's just a simple mistake, it won't happen again, it should be easy to refund, but I can't find any way to contact the vendor. I asked them if they have any way to contact the vendor? They said yes, they do. So Amex tried contacting google, and some time later (I don't know if it was days or weeks) Amex contacted me, to tell me, they had no response from google, so Amex refunded the transaction. Now I will say, that's plenty of reason for google to be suspicious about my account. But I still disagree with the requirement to upload driver's license, passport, bank statements, or else never be able to purchase anything from google ever again. It's sheer coincidence that I had this other experience, trying to purchase something in Euros today. Because that experience illuminates perfectly, what google should be doing instead. Guess what? Account seems to be compromised? Use the information from "Account Recovery Options." Duh. ;-) I've certainly given all this info to google wallet now... Maybe I'll get a response... Don't know what, or if, they'll say anything about it yet. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
