Long time lurker here, but had to sign up to share this one with the community. Would appreciate your thoughts on it.
So I thought I'd get with the times and sign up to Google Pay yesterday. Like any good OZBer I have an Amex with a supplementary card and a primary. I haven't used the supp card in months- it sits in my drawer waiting for special occasions XD anyway, within 5 minutes of adding the thing onto Google Pay, 2 fraudulent charges went through! Seems like a massive coincidence, and I tried to remove cards etc but couldn't figure out how to completely disable my Google Pay account.
Anyway, today the primary has been used for more fraudulent charges. I'm convinced it has to be related to Google Pay. Everything has been reported to AMEX as appropriate but- has anyone heard of this happening before??
My amex is linked to google pay and never had an issue.
