This has been discussed.  In order to see the rejection, I browse to 
https://gmail.com and login.  I use google public dns, so there's no chance of 
a dns poisoning.  The SSL cert is signed by Thawte.  

Furthermore, when you try to buy someting in android, the transaction doesn't 
take place at your device.  The transaction takes place between the Google Play 
servers and the credit card company.  So it couldn't possibly be a phishing 
attack.

It is legitimately google requesting this.
