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.

Turns out they *are* EDFs meter readers. Lol!

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

Seconded

We once had a couple of train tickets appear on our statement.

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
