Report charges from someone you don’t know

Important: We take fraud seriously, so if we find that fraud occurred on an account, that person might not be able to pay with Google temporarily. DO NOT submit a report using the form below if the purchase was made by your family and friends.

If you see an unknown or suspicious charge from Google Play that you didn't make and wasn't made by anyone you know, report unauthorized charges within 120 days of the transaction.
