Hi guys I can use your help in a form of a little guidance in getting getting my payment stopped on an Android market app, it's called " Bakery Story " it's a free app for kids when the app is opened it tricks kids in buying gems of some sort, my 6 yr old daughter downloaded the game and I saw an email receipt from Google for $100 .Verizon said they can't do anything, bank said call Google, I tried contacting Google but a dead end. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

I assume it was all in-app purchases then? Seems that there is a bit of a black spot of accountability. I imagine if Google gets back to you it will be to say it's nought to do with them either.
You could try contacting the dev's directly maybe? Apparently the game is made by "Team Lava" - http://www.teamlava.com/
Thanks guys I tried both methods but no results no reply from dev and bank said because it was my debit not credit card if was credit card there would be third party involved which could be disputed, Google said they're not responsible for on app purchases.

That's mighty annoying though. Shows a rather gaping hole of responsibility within app purchases.
Fingers crossed that the devs are nice when they get back to you!

I'm guessing you wont get the money back. These apps are written just to take your money. See the pattern? Kids game, you give the kid the phone, phone screen to small to watch over all the time, kid doesn't understand the theory of money, you lose money. I should write an app like that. But I would get paid for every post that is made on XDA.
Hello. i was just wondering if anyone has an extra ingress invite. It would be really kind if any of you have one and would hand it over. Been waiting for over 3 months. If you do can you please PM it to me on here or [email protected] Thanks

Follow that woman on Google+ and kindly request a code. I had mine in less than a week. I dont think that you can share code. Once I receive mine game automatically stopped asking for one. I think is linked to Gmail account.

I suggest following Anne and the Ingress team. You would get the code faster. However the downside of that which is, if you get a an invite from them, you wont be able to invite someone else. I don't know what kind of witchcraft is that, but I got a code once from Anne and it didn't have the ability to invite others and a few days later I got an invite on my other email (which was registered to ingress.com thingy) and that had the ability to invite others.
And before you ask, I have used those invites to invite my friends. :good:

It's probably just a hold on the credit card to see if it's valid. The money will be back on the card after a few days.

Sent from my HTC Explorer using xda app-developers app
These kind of holds are normal when you add a card on-line pretty much anywhere.
It's not a charge. It will go away. (unless you accidentally actually bought something else)
I understand that parents (and you) don't necessarily have familiarity with how that works, and that's okay - but it's nothing to get bent out of shape over. You could always just Google it - someone else in the history of the Internet has probably already freaked out about it or wondered what it was and was answered by people who knew.

Its googles wallet's rules. Whenever you add a new card they will take $1 (equivalent to Rs.50) as a confirmation. They either return return it after a day few days or once you have done a purchase with the wallet. For me, i got a refund. You can show her the FAQ in the Google wallet support page. They explained it pretty well.

Tell her to chill! This happens on every kind of online app store! The money will be refunded. (Not sure if it will be if the card is blocked). And I hope 50 Rs is not a big deal for you. Or you could do some self imposed punishment to recover it...

Ah the wonders of generation X and modern technology...
This is normal, nearly every pay service that asks you to enter credit card details does this. It also happens for direct-account linking in Europe. Paypal, for instance, writes off a small ammount (5 cents when I did this) to check if the link is valid, and then sends it back within 48 hours.
This IS mentioned when you link the credit card as the next-step procedure. You should've read it more carefully.
I know. My mom also freaks out about this stuff. Here show this -

This would be enough.
Guys, I added my debit card to Play Store on 9th January. It's 25 days now and even I was charged Rs. 50 back then which hasn't been refunded yet. Called up my bank and they say this charge is not refundable. Seriously? I never agreed for paying this. Who refunds this back? Google does? Or the bank? I've been charged one or two bucks from PayPal before but it was always refunded back in time. I'd rather spend 50 on a deserving app than for simply adding my card.

First sorry for my bad English ,,, please forgive me.
Note: I upload video on YouTube for this method. please see it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm7fUGtxhkk
this method for all devices not just Nexus 4, but because I have Nexus 4 I post the method here.
I have a method to make Google Opinion Rewards work for all country … first you need to install from play two app : Fake GPS and another app Psiphon for VPN
1. Go to developer menu in setting and enable Allow mock locations
2. Go to Location access and disable Wi-Fi & mobile network location
3. Open Fake GPS and chose anywhere in USA but I recommended chose New Jersey because the Psiphon will get you IP in this location then press Set Location
4. Open Psiphon then chose Tunnel whole Device then go to option and chose united states from Select region and lock for Tunnel whole Device to sure you are enable it then press start
5. Now you need to create new Google account to create US account ,,, go to setting then add account then chose Google and continue
6. After you created us account open Google play then switch to new account ,,, the US market will open ,,, install Google Opinion Rewards and if you already download it please remove it before install it
7. Open Google Opinion Rewards and chose new Google account then wait ,,, the app will open … continue with survey and input 08205 for zip code
8. After that you will receive new survey and after that you will get first dollar
9. After that you can close Fake GPS and Psiphon , and you can enable Wi-Fi & mobile network location if you want.
In attached file screenshot from my mobile to approve I get 1$ and the method is work
Best Regards

So far no further surveys.
So I found this neat little app called Scantopia. It's basically just a way to make some extra money while having fun scanning product barcodes. You don't earn whopping amounts of money, I've made about $2.75 in two days, but it's still money and it's kinda fun.
When you have $3 dollars or more, you can transfer the money to your PayPal account. You also make tokens, which are used as entries for sweepstakes, like the $1,000 weekly jackpot.
It's pretty cool, try it out. When you do, please input my referral code HV-QTP-SA because it will help me earn some more money Happy scanning to you all!

If you give it your paypal account info, access to your location, contacts, call log, social info, call log, etc what prevents them from using it?? And don't be silly how can you get paid for scanning stuff, where would they get their money from? I have already reported it in Google Play. If you wish to use it nobody prevents you, but you have been warned

I was curious of the permissions so went to install it a few days ago...This quote instantly came to mind "if you're not paying for something, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold"..the fact that you need to log into paypal through it makes it 10x worse.
