The scammer created the account on google cloud using my google account and attached credit card. To be more clear my credit card was not charged. One day before Boniowice came Google block my credit card for payment with following explanation "Due to suspicious activity, we suspended payment options for products and services using this account to allow unauthorized activities" So I was not charged yet, but I received invoice to pay with information that it will be done automatically.

If you get charged then dispute the charge with your bank. If not then you're off the hook financially.

Either way, I'd back up all my google data now.

TechBro8615 is right, this isn't a 100% clear case for a chargeback, but it's worth a shot.
