Brighton factually.....
How did they get your debit card details? And how / where from were you downloading these?

Google "play" I think have my card details for a few games I have.

I searched on Google for example Milf cowgirl - not videos as that is blocked (thank feck) however I can look at images.
Look at images downloaded maybe 30 "best images" for use at later date. Deleted said "best images" after they had fulfilled there purpose.

Go to sainsburys to buy wife thrush cream check bank balance oh no that's not right.... Panic...

Ring bank....

Sir have you have a lot of charges from Google for example 79p 1.80p etc

Holy feck

Come home panic, panic resort to NSC, panic.

Need to go the bank for a statement (note to self must intercept my next months statement before wife)

I don't care about everyone knowing it's the amount and how can that be not once was I asked this will cost X amount otherwise I would not have done it.

Can I get my money back or have I spunked £390.00

Feck sake.

I don't know enough about Google Play. But are you sure this wasn't through some App, with in-app purchases?

All I can think of is the scene in Human Traffic where Danny Dyer rings a "chat" line and it appears on the phone bill as Taiwan. Hope you get some of the money back but I don't see it happening.

Sorry to hear about your problem, As others have said, contact Google straight away and also contact your bank's fraud department, telling them that someone has made unauthorised charges to your debit card. They will block the card and issue a new one rapidly. You will have to fill out a claim form. I know you said you don't do credit cards but scams like this are much easier tdeal with if they're on a credit card. The card company is obliged to refund you while they investigate the scam. Might be an idea to get a credit card specially for MILF cowgirl purposes!

Feck sake.

I think you've definitely spunked £390.00! Milf cowgirl? Good choice fella!! Personally I would have gone Milf reverse cowgirl or perhaps council house pissers but each to their own I guess.

On a serious note, unless you have expressly given permission or signed up for something knowingly they shouldn't be able to debit money like that. Is it possible one of the porn sites you visited was a dodgy fraudulent one and they have done you over?

If you're just on a website and downloading images in the "right click, save" type of way then there will be no way anyone can charge you.

If you're logged into a website and they offer a download function then they could charge you. If you're also logged into Google on that device then it may be possible for that site to charge your Google Wallet, but if you use Google wallet you'd know about it.

If you're in an app on an Android phone then that app could charge your Google Play account for you performing some sort of activity.

From the small charges you mention and from what you've said, it sounds like you're talking about Google Play charges and very probably not related to your picture downloading activity. I don't own an Android phone but presumably you can access your Google Play account and see purchase history. If so, do the charges there tally with what you've seen from your bank.

I'd be changing my Google passwords if I were you.

If the charges are from Google Play/Wallet, I'd assume that you should be able to see them if you log on to your Google account? And also I'd expect that you'd receive an email for each charge?

Why not? If he's not agreed to it, he can do an indemnity claim. Quite simple really, bank will just refund the money. As long as he's telling the truth, and I imagine he is.

It could be that someone has obtained your card details and linked them to their Google play account.

Most likely this, I think the images are just a red herring which is making you panic. I was taken for £200 once from someone buying in-game items on a game I used to play, you need to contact you bank and say these charges are unauthorised.

The most curious thing..
Don't look at porn when logged in to any site.

Better still don't look at porn at all, but use your imagination more with wifey (when she's in a better mood) :kiss:

You have not been charged for this advice.

Go to the play store, click the hamburger menu on the top left of the screen and then account and order history.
