Likely a compromised debit card. Google charges will never say "POS DEBIT GOOGLE" they will always start with ONLY the word "GOOGLE". Be especially cautious of the charge is from 11 to 14 dollars, there are reports of these types of charges coming up all over the internet since September.

I just reported it as fraud . It’s better to be safe than sorry don’t take a chance and let them keep taking your money

That is a clever name creation by a scammer. It is NOT Google. Your bank will mostky likely trigger a fraud alert. It will always be $1 or .88 cents.

Just got the notice from the credit union, "Pending charge at GOOGLE *TEMPORARY HOLD, g.co\/helppay#, CA." for 0.00, bc I requested notice for every transaction, but it's not appearing in my list of transactions. Bizarre. I don't use Google Pay or Google Play. Can't contact the bank bc it's Saturday afternoon--offices are closed. Really don't have time for scams. This is so bogus. Hope I don't have to cancel the card, but I will be in the lobby Monday at 8 a.m. for a new card.

Definitely a scam, I got 3 charges of temp transactions along the night, first one for 1 dólar, then for 8 rand (African coin apparently so it's like .53 dolar) then 14.7 rand, 2 from a different direction of Google temporary hold (us, gb) and one from Google arena London. The third one didn't went through as I moved most of my money to a different account leaving barely enough for the account to exist but I'm heading to the bank today.

Was charged by GOOGLE* TEMPORARY HOLD G.CO/HELPPAY# CA for the amount of $1 around 5pm eastern time today. After the google charge there were two small coinbase charges for a little over $1 each they happened within minutes of the google charge. I noticed these about an hour after they had been made because I was trying to use my card and the bank blocked my actual purchase in the store. Basically I had to call and they shut down my whole card.

I noticed this charge on my billing statement and had to put in a dispute. My card is currently deactivated and I'm waiting for a new one. Is there a class action lawsuit in the works or do we just lose the money?

I was charged for $1.00 today at 1PM EST. I had to cancel my card and get a new one sent out to me. It's frustrating that these scammers can do this and get away with it.

My bank flagged ten attempts to run a charge for $1.05. One was refunded by the 'merchant' and then the next day another charge for $1.06. They were from 'google tepo g.co/helppay' and also from 'Google vrere' or a combination thereof. I called the bank to report them as fraud and their fraud department told me transactions like this were very concerning and certainly a scam and immediately closed my card and issued me a new one.
