What is Google Voyagerone 1 855 836 3987 CA Charge

Voyager 1 is a spacecraft that NASA launched in 1977 and there is no such product from Google, hence the charges Voyagerone 18558363987 CA seem to be bogus. Earlier scammers used Google headquarter address as a description of the charge to make the illegitimate look legitimate and this time they are using Google contact number but with a country code of Canada.

Google is a giant in many ways, but that still can’t help it to avoid its name being used by scammers for looting people. The irony is that all is happening mostly over the internet and you know who operates most of the internet as the largest search engine, Google. No, Google is not involved in all this, but this is what scammers want you to think and believe, so that you stay confused about the Voyagerone charges and never take action.

This post won’t let that happen and will unveil the disguised fraudsters trying to loot in different ways every other day. I have explained the possibilities of Google Voyagerone charges to appear on your credit card and how you must deal with them, make sure you follow the procedures rightly to ensure the smooth process. 

What Are Google Voyagerone 1 855 836 3987 CA Charges On Your Credit Card?

A charge with the description “Google Voyagerone 1 855 836 3987 CA” on your credit card statement implies that a transaction has been made by using Google services or you have purchased a Google service, but this is less likely the scenario, as no any such product from Google is named as Voyagerone and they never include their contact number in the charge. Understand this in more detail below

There are a few things which you must understand;

1. Google Voyagerone 1: There is no any Google product or service called “Google Voyagerone 1.” Voyager 1 is only a real spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 and particularly not related to Google.
2. 855 836 3987 CA Charges: The second portion in the charge appears to be a phone number with a Canadian area code (CA) followed by the word “Charges.” Our research team suggests that it’s highly unlikely for this being a legitimate charge from Google.

What Does Google Voyagerone 1 855 836 3987 CA Charges on Credit Cards Indicate?

A credit card charge mentioned unusually with an uncommon pattern is trying to indicate a transaction relating to Google, as this is the contact number of Google. Below are some possible reasons for such a charge:

1. Google Ads: Payments for advertising campaigns run on Google Ads.
2. Google Cloud Services: Charges for using Google Cloud Platform services.
3. Google Play: Purchases made on the Google Play Store, such as apps, games, music, movies, books, or subscriptions.
4. YouTube: Payments for YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, or Super Chats.
5. Google Workspace: Subscription fees for Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) services, like Gmail, Google Drive, and other productivity tools.
6. Hardware Purchases: Payments for devices purchased from the Google Store, such as Pixel phones, Nest devices, or other hardware.
7. Google Fi: Charges for the Google Fi mobile phone service

Uncovering The Possibilities For Google Voyagerone 1 855 836 3987 CA Charges

Check some of the possible under which Google Voyagerone charge could appear on your credit card;

• In the first and the most reported scenario,the charge indicates that you have purchased a Google service. These charges might incur from running Google Ads, using Google Cloud for your website hosting, subscribing to apps on Google Play, using Google Workspace for email and documents, purchasing hardware from the Google Store, and using Google Fi for mobile service. If any of the services relate to you, consider these charges from the Google accounts.

• Another scenario is if you have clicked upon some malicious ad link disguised as some Google service and signed up or purchased from Google but it’s not something you actually thought of and you don’t remember and something you didn’t intend to. 

• If you have signed up for a free trial of a Google service, but later you forget to cancel it in time and miss the part where it automatically converts to a paid subscription after the trial period ends.

• A high possibility as suggested by our research team, that it’s an unauthorized charge with “Google” in the description. It’s in anticipation that after you see a charge on your bank or credit card statement, you believe it was made using Google services but it’s not actually not authorized by you and the pattern is adopted to confuse you, which they succeeded in. If that’s the case, there are two main scenarios for this: a fraudulent charge or an error. In the case of a fraudulent charge, someone else you may know or not might have used your Google account to make a purchase and you are not aware of it, possibly due to a compromised account from a stolen password or malware on your device. The description might mention “Google Play,” “Google Store,” or simply “Google” followed by a random string of characters.

Verifying The Google Voyagerone 1 855 836 3987 CA Service Charge

You must verify the charges you are worried about, it will ensure the nature of the charge and will help you to avoid any such similar scenario in future or an early detection. Below I have outlined some simple measures to undertake;

Check The Charge Origin As Google

Any charges for Google products or services will appear on your card statement which starts with ‘Google’.

If it’s a Google Play purchase, go to the Play Unrecognised Transactions Troubleshooter. 

All Google Play purchases appear on your statement under these names:

• “GOOGLE*App developer name,” for Android apps
• “GOOGLE*App name,” for Android apps
• “GOOGLE*Content type,” for example: “GOOGLE*Books”

If the charge on your credit card is not in one of these formats, it’s definitely does not come from Google. 

Double-Check Common Issues

These common issues are often confused for unauthorized charges;

• Family and friends: Check with  family or friends who have access to your card or account to buy something. 
• Canceled orders: If you have canceled an order recently, you might still find a pending charge. This amount will disappear after some time as the cancellation is processed.
• Duplicate charges: With some purchases, you might see a pending authorization as the same amount as the charge. It should disappear after a few days. 
• If you still think you have been charged wrongly for something, sign in to Subscriptions and services and check your orders for duplicates.
• Recently added payment methods: After you add a payment method to your payments profile, such as a new card, you might see a small pending transaction on your bank statement. This is a temporary hold that you will not be charged for.

Verify Your Google Purchase History

Many people often forget a purchase that they make. Before you report a charge as unauthorized,  I would suggest you compare your Google purchase history with the charges mentioned on your card or bank statement and try recalling any purchases that you’ve forgotten.

To get your Google purchase history:

1. Sign in to Google payments subscriptions and services.
2. Click into the individual subscriptions and services to get transactions for that product.

Check Your Subscriptions

Check and ensure that the charge is not because of a subscription purchased that you or a family member has set up. Here is the simple process;

• Checking Your Purchase History.

You must without any delay check your recent purchase history and underline the ones which seem unfamiliar to you to verify them.

• Checking the amount of the charge.

The amount of the charge must exactly match with the purchase value. Remember that the additional charges like taxes or shipping charges are also levied, but only added in the final statement.

Check If Your Issuer Declined Your Payment

In some cases your payment issuer, which is your bank or credit card issuer, may have declined your payment. In other cases,the issuer could be the telecom carrier for your carrier billing account, or your eWallet provider. 

If you seeing one of the following error codes or error messages, then it means that your issuer have declined your payment:

  • “Your transaction can’t be completed.”
