Many users report that they received an email from Google informing them that a new card was added to their account despite not adding any recently.
Google has not yet clarified the situation, but the emails are likely just a bug.
Many of us increasingly prefer using our phones to make cashless payments. Android users generally stick to Google Pay (https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-use-google-pay-890614/) or OEM alternatives like Samsung Pay (https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-pay-problems-fixes-3226396/) for these cashless transactions. If you’re a Google Pay user, there’s a chance that you have received a new email recently stating that “You added a new card to your Google Account,” even though you didn’t actually do that. Don’t fret, you’re not alone, as it seems a lot of people have erroneously received this email.
Many users in the Google Wallet/Google Pay support forums (https://support.google.com/wallet/thread/299967237/email-received-you-added-a-new-card-to-your-google-account) and on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/googlepay/comments/1fuvrad/received_notification_you_added_a_new_card_to/) are reporting that they have received an email from Google notifying them that a new card has been added to their account, despite no such action from their end. Some even got multiple such emails, all from a legitimate Google email address.
