So I see all sorts of debits and credits on my credit card statement relating to admob over the last few days. I suspected someone stole my credit card and went to town on admob. Instead it seems someone at Google made a really big mistake.

I could only find one english site discussing this and a few Russian ones. Check your credit card statment if you used admob before. Surprisingly googles excellent customer service(christmas humor) did not notify people of the mishap or charges. One guy on the forum reported over 100k in refunds and then google charging again.

I think I may be up or down(in pennies) as the transactions to and fro were not identical due to maybe exchange rates as they were days apart.

I am disappointed that a company has their hands in my bank account where they can do these transactions both ways without even notifying me. I am complaining to Visa about this.
