tl;dr: * all payments through google use google pay * poster's husband bought a pixel 3 at the same time there was fraud on their card. * the pixel 3 shipped even though the payment was reversed because of the fraud * google shut down his google pay account hard, and that broke google fi, hangouts, access to his phone number, etc. * google support has been super googley about this (ie foad) * if you ever have fraud problems with google pay, prepare for all google stuff to break with 0 resolution or help * as a side note, poster bought a pixel 3 and they have improved their support from the pixel 2 to be more googley. The phone remains basically broken.
