Today started with me waking up at around 5:15 and not being able to get back to sleep, so I checked the game to see if my energy was refilled. Nope - so I did my gifting and charging and then did a couple rooms to see what the daily July 4th package would be. Not bad - 50% chance increase for Winding Keys, I think, so I bought it ($4.99). That was my first mistake.

I used my cellphone account, confirmed that was the account to be charged, and completed the purchase. Later on, though, there was also a $4.99 charge to my Paypal account for the same purchase. I did some checking - both my phone account and paypal account have been charged for the same single purchase. Of course, using Google Play is a necessary evil I can't get around, but they never directly address any problems - they just tell you to troubleshoot it yourself or blame someone else.

Then I typed a nice long entry here about the day's experiences (believe me, this version is quite truncated) and hit Enter - and my entire post disappeared - replaced with this. https://prnt.sc/k1purm

By the time all this was done, and my investigation (my wife keeps close tabs on the bank accounts and notified me that the Paypal charge had taken place) not only was I pretty miffed at all these online companies - but my talismans had run out as well. :/
