Not in any of your accounts? If nobody in your household made it, someone else may have used your card details. Your card issuer can stop the card, so the charges do not continue.
Why does it say “GOOGLE *Google One”?
Google bills the plan under its storage name: Google's own list of statement names shows Google One as GOOGLE* Google Storage. A plan bought in the Android app is billed through Google Play, which prints the app's name, so the line can also read GOOGLE *Google One.
Either way, the line names storage or Google One even if you think of the plan as Gemini or extra space for Photos. The plan also belongs to one Google Account, which may not be the one you use every day.
Why you might see this charge
- A trial ended and switched to a paid membership on the card entered when the trial started.
- Gmail, Drive and Photos storage filled up and someone accepted an upgrade offer.
- A monthly or yearly renewal, or an upgrade to Google AI Pro for Gemini features.
- A trial that came with a new device or a carrier offer turned into a paid plan.
- A plan on another Google Account that uses the same card, such as an old account or a family member's.
Is GOOGLE *Google One legit?
GOOGLE *Google One is a genuine Google subscription, and every real charge matches a plan in one of your Google Accounts. If none of your Google Accounts holds a plan, check old accounts and any account a family member uses with your card before you rule it out.
Messages that say your storage is full and ask you to pay through a link are a common lookalike. Check your plan in your own Google account, never through a link in a message.
