If they did you probably, inadvertently, gave them permission to.

If you didn't it is simple stealing and they are simple thieves.
In that case: report it to appropriate authorities (like Google's Market and the law).

No
At no stage did they ask and at no stage did i give permission
 
1) Email dev ask for a refund, include your google checkout order number

2) if that fails report to google checkout

3) if that fails report to phone carrier

4) if that fails consider report to police


my guess is that you will get things solved by step 1 or 2 :)

hope that helps
 
Oh man Redrover, that blows. Hopefully the Dev is understanding and give you the refund.

They have screen shots? lol How is that even possible? File a claim with your credit card, you'll get faster result. I haven't heard the best reviews for Google Checkout support tbh. Don't forget to unsubscribe to whatever they subscribe you to!
 
^I'm guessing they were "informational/explanatory" screenshots, not screens as evidence of his use of the app. :D

Google Checkout support themselves wont care, but they will forward the complaint to the dev, and devs have very, very few complaints until the account gets pulled. So they will often honor any legit complaint with a refund when the alternative is possibly getting their account shut down.

It may work, it may not. Personally I tend to give refunds pretty liberally. I want happy customers, because then they are happy supporters and promoters of my app :)

I still say file a fraud claim with the credit card company :mad: I believe it's a much faster route, lol.

Except if I'm reading the OP correctly. it was charged to his phone account not to his credit card. It would need to go through his carrier rather than credit card.

Phone account = Google Account. I read it as it's through Google Checkout, which requires your credit card for you to make any app purchases and in app purchases.
 
At least 2 carriers support carrier billing in the US now. AT&T and I think Sprint? Can't remember.

I see people trying to buy stuff all the time with it. Often they get rejected though.

That makes sense too. I read it as when you text to Red Cross and donate $10 for relief kind of thing.
