Hey everyone! Today, I deposited some money in one of my bank accounts and before I did, I went on line and checked out one of my checking accounts. As I was looking, I found out that Google Ads took out $280.28 from my checking account and for what I don't have a clue.

I went to my credit union and asked them for contact information for Google Ads to investigate this matter and they said that they didn't have any idea from Google about a phone number or anything else.

I was shocked because Google denied my application for Google Adsense and I didn't understand why Google took out this money from my account. So I did what any normal person would do - I filed a dispute against Google Ads.

So please, keep a look out for any suspicious withdraws from your bank accounts because if you are like me, $280.28 is a lot of money to lose.

Have a great day!

Danny

Call to get set up by a Google Ads specialist

1-844-245-2553*
*Mon-Fri, 9am-9pm ET

I would call them anyways since your identity could have been stolen. I never set up extra broker accounts, yet some years ago someone had enough info to set up 5 accounts in my name using my SS, DL address everything. Lucky for me they were stupid and their mail came to me. Put alerts out and called each place, and fortunately never got money, but caused several months of headaches. The Credit Union will get your money back and do a good trace. Thanks for the heads up, and hopefully you get it all back.

OMG! I hope you get an answer/solution very soon.

Thanks for sharing. Keep us posted.

All the best!

OMG! Shucks hope we all don't get bills either - so sorry to hear...did you set up any Google ad campaigns?

Thanks Snazzy. I've never had an ads campaign with Google nor do I know how

Go to ads.google.com and check if you have an ads account with a campaign accidentally left running. Happened to me once. It's nothing to do with AdSense.

What the heck is going on? Sorry to hear this

Hi Danny. Have you contacted Google? They are usually pretty helpful in resolving issues like this.
Colette and Philip

No Colette. I haven't contacted Google because my bank doesn't have Info about Google. I don't even know how to make a campaign with Google

Ok I will. Thanks.
