Is Google Wallet safe?
Yes, Google Wallet is safe to use. Wallet uses multiple layers of security, including secure encryption technology, to store your information and monitor fraud. In addition, Google doesn’t show your full card details to businesses when you pay.
Where is Google Wallet accepted?
You can use the app anywhere that accepts digital transactions. This includes many physical stores, online merchants, and apps. Additionally, you can send and receive money to anyone with an email address or mobile number.
Do I need both Google Pay and Google Wallet?
No, you don’t necessarily need both. Google Wallet is primarily for digitally storing cards, passes, tickets, keys, or IDy. On the other hand, Google Pay is for making payments online, in apps, and physical stores. You may choose to use one or both services depending on your needs.
I know this topic has been discussed in an archived thread, but I'm not so worried about Google Pay, because I simply will not use it due to privacy reasons. I'm more interesting in the ticketing aspect of Google wallet. On some airlines, when you go to concerts and events, it seems the only way you're able to save your ticket offline is to use google wallet or apple wallet. I'm an android user. Surely there must be another private option to use? I really do not want to give google all my flight and ticket information as well as everything else they know about me.
I just thought because it's only tickets, not credit card/payment information that I'd hopefully be able to save that information on a self-hosted app on my phone.
Hello guys. I know this is probably too good to be true and I probably already know that this is gonna be a scam, but I was just wondering if this is actually a thing that people do and has it ever actually worked out in the buyer's favor (that meaning they actually got their goods).
I'm looking for some tickets to a sold-out concert for next Saturday. A lot of the tickets I see on Craigslist and average would go for like $130 and up but this guy is willing to sell it to me for my offer of $80 each. I'm looking for two as well. The guy messaged me about four or five days ago, when I put my listing up asking if I'm still looking for tickets. This person has responded me through the course of the past four days or so, but at random times -- sometimes really swift responses and other times not so responsive at all.
So I'm highly skeptical of the intention of this guy. Makes me wonder how many more people he got away with doing this, or how many people he was talking with during the time has hasn't gotten back to me about stuff.
Anyways, I asked for a proof of purchase (a simply screenshot of the email or page where it tells him he has successfully purchased the ticket) and he did a very very half-assed attempt and said that it was the best he could do. Anymore and it'd be too risky.
Then he's persistent about being able to dispute the transaction process (if not the whole thing). After talking with a Google support guy myself, it seems like it's possible to dispute but I'm not sure exactly how it'd work and how likely I'd get my money back.
So I don't know. I really want to get these concert tickets, and perhaps the price is blinding me from seeing that this is a scam (ironically, it's also a way of telling me it's a scam). But I just wanna know anyone who has used Google Wallet before to make a purchase from another individual and have successfully disputed when you didn't receive your stuff.
Upon trying it out myself, I noticed that you could just claim the money and you're all set. Would there really be a way to fight against that?
Sorry for the wall of text and thanks!
Offer to meet the guy in person in a public place (Starbucks) and pay him cash for the tickets.
If you get any other response than yes, it's a scam.
Make sure you know what the tickets should look like in advance if you decide to go.
I don't know much about Google wallet, but PayPal has a dispute resolution mechanism, but only for a merchant transaction. They also let you send money to friends and family, and that is not covered. Also be careful with email tickets. Even if you meet in person he could have sold the same ticket to lots of people. I worked security before, and saw it happen all the time. Seems like a scam to me.
