Google Play High Risk

[Hurrycanejohn]

I buy and use Google gift cards with my account......no high risk problems? Why give Google your credit card info just to to buy $2 apps?

I just got off the phone with GP support. Ok, this is the most idiotic security measure I've ever heard of. Like everyone else keeps saying, it's a safeguard for them to ensure that the person attempting the purchase is actually the owner of the account. Gotcha, and as much as I want to, I'm not going to rant and rave about how ridiculous this policy is. Essentially your account has been suspended by GP for 48 hours (I know the message says to re-attempt in 30 minutes, the GP support guy couldn't really explain this either). YOU CANNOT ATTEMPT ANY PURCHASES ON GOOGLE PLAY, WHATSOEVER, FOR 48 HOURS OR THE SUSPENSION WILL RESTART. So, unfortunately I've been attempting purchases over and over again for the last 3 days, based on the fact that that the error message says to retry in 30 minutes, so now that I have this information I have to wait 48 hours from the most recent purchase attempt before the suspension is lifted. Hopefully this clears things up.

This is not true. I have been using this same credit card for Google Play purchased on this same account on numerous occasions. I still get this message and am unable to make purchases any time that it is more than 3 or 4 days between purchases.

After having my first Android phone for about 4 days Google won't let me buy any apps because of "High Risk" even though my credit card works in real life, and now my account is suspended requiring a utility bill and drivers license to verify it. Any suggestions? Google may have lost a customer.

I am having the same issue, I sent them what asked for and they suspended my account still. All I want to do is buy some diamonds for war2victory. Shouldn't have to go through all this trouble just to buy currency for a game. I am officially disgusted with Google and they won't be getting any of my money if I can help it. I've tried everything from new account, getting a prepaid card to even doing a factory reset on my tablet. **** google they can stick this high risk order bull**** where the sun don't shine.

I have been trying to "buy" free books earlier today, and the "purchases" were being declined.

I logged in to my Google Wallet account and saw that my mum's credit card was still there, and that it will expire this month. I have been using her card (of course, with her permission) for the past 12 months without any problems until now (her old card is expiring this month and she won't give me her the details for the replacement card while reminding me I already have my own card, LOL).

Good thing I have already added my own credit card on the account. I just had to make some minor changes on the billing address. My region was wrong, (Region in the PI is similar to your state in the US) and the legal name (under settings) was set to my mum's. After changing all that, I went back to the "free" book I was "purchasing" and voila! "Purchase was successful!".

So for people who has the same problem, y'all might want to check out your payment information on the google wallet website (that's what the email instructed me to do in the first place) and make sure everything is up to speed.

I hope this information helps. Goodluck!

this is actually normal and a pretty good security measure. its googles way of making sure any purchases made is legit. once u provide ur info, u should be up and running in under 4 business days

 

[dhg adcap]

I have an idea how about we just switch ove to i phone. They dont care if you have bad security. Because you cant protect you info. You have the money... But android wants to protect the retarded. People i get it. Im done with this google bull.

Well, I went to the bank and got myself a card for Google Plays Boom Beach. I did everything it asked me to do making sure it would work with no problems. Of course, it came up saying Error: it was declined, and I tried again awhile later, now, it says it is at "High Risk" and I need to wait 30min or so. I called the card company and got all these things done to it to prevent this from happening again. I waited a half hour or so and tried it again, but as I expected, It was at high risk and I must wait 30min again. I really don't understand what or how to deal with this, can you help me out? Thanks! Flipturn10-

I just dealt with this the solution we came up with was remove the Google account the purchase won't go through on and the add it again this worked for me.
