A class action complaint filed this week in the federal court for the District of North California argues that Google has knowingly benefited from gift card scams, keeping millions of dollars in stolen money from victims of fraudulent schemes.
The complains involves Google Play gift cards, and alleges that Google retains funds from stolen gift cards either by taking a commission from payments to Google Play app developers made with fraudulently obtained cards, or by withholding funds paid via such cards.
