There is another possibility here that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
Someone fraudulently representing Mocality attempted to start a joint Google-Mocality venture. Google was misled, and no one at Mocality was aware of the fraud, meaning neither party is guilty.
Is it really plausible that Google would agree to a partnership and provide payment to a false Mocality representative without even speaking to the Mocality CEO? We can't rule this out without more knowledge of the case, but it seems very far-fetched.
It's not hard to imagine that someone could fraudulently claim to be Mocality's CEO either. How often do you verify someone's ID in a business meeting?
That suggestion reminds me of Ali Dia, the very limited footballer who ended up playing a game in the English Premier League after Southampton signed him on doubtlessly generous wages without bothering to check whether the call from legendary George Weah recommending his "cousin" was genuine, or whether a player called Ali Dia had ever played internationally for Senegal or Liberia.
IP registrations can also be wrong, and someone could also be saying they're Google, and running a scam that way.
Happens all the time with (semi-)legitimate firms acting as Adsense or Facebook Ads brokers. They often pull bait and switch tactics after you said you'd think about it.
