Google Disabled my account

[Scorpion Ghost]

Guys, I feel like I've just been hit on the head with a shovel.

Google Disabled my Fucking Account!!!

That's my MAIN Google account. I have a few Youtube channels associated with it, most have good subs and videos. I have a number of Google+ pages associated with it, most have good followers. I have about 30 other emails I use for business, they ALL forward ALL mail to that main Gmail account. I had Adsense with it which I wasn't using, but had about $8 bucks in there from back when I had my Youtube channel monetized with it. OH Blogger, fucking BLOGGER, I have a few blogs I've been posting on. I have customers that have that email and contact me for business sometimes. I have registered on over 100 websites using that Gmail account. I have the email on my Fiverr account, for withdrawals. I have, I have god knows what else tied to it.

It's ALL GONE

I submitted an appeal. They say:

"Thank you for contacting us about your disabled Google Account. The Google Accounts team will review your request and be in touch with an update as soon as possible. Most requests take 2 business days to review, but some might take longer.

Thanks for your patience.

The Google Accounts Team"

And to top it off, they offered an option for me to export my data. And I tried, twice, and both times I got this:

"Creating your Google data archive failed"

They send the email to my Recovery email.


I've just been hit on the head with a shovel. I feel horrible. I lost SO MUCH! I need some comfort.

That's horrible man. From now on, DON'T depend on FREE things/services for your business. Use paid things/services, always!

Get a paid business mail. It's dirt cheap in GoDaddy.

And you said Blogger, were you posting affiliate links in blogger? What did you exactly do since the couple of days that google banned your mail account?
Google does NOT do such stupid things. This is the first time I am hearing tbh. What did you exactly do since the last of couple of days? Please share with us.

And please get a paid mail service from godaddy or anywhere you want. They are dirt cheap and everything is in your hands.

I think I know what I did. I sent about 40 emails, cold emails, just to random emails I collected from somewhere, over the period of 2 days.

I never did that before. This was the first time I did something like this.

I knew it wasn't allowed, but I figured it wasn't such a big deal, and it's not such a big number.

The appeal I sent them, I admitted to doing it and I basically begged them to restore my account. I literally used the words "I'm begging you," and of course I apologized for what I did and promised not to do it again etc, polite and courteous all the way.

Anyone had this happen to them before? Did you get your account back?

haha that put a smile on my - currently - miserable face

 

[b1step-ahead]

40 emails - cold usually wont do it alone. Unless you got 40 spam complaints. Call up google my business support and see what happens

Hey thanks. I've been wondering if there's anything else I can do other than the appeal I submitted. I'll look around on Google if I can find a number to call.

I found this video -

But my Google account has been disabled. I can't login to any of their services. So I can't request a call.

And Google My Business seems like a specific service, but I never even used that before.

You never do that man. Not from google, Hotmail, yahoo or anyone. Please don't hate me for saying this but if I was in charge at google, I would have terminated your account and banned your IP along with your area IP from even opening Gmail. Scraped and cold emails are the worst.

There are two things you are doing -

1) Irritating those people who you are sending emails.
2) Destroying googles and gmail's reputation.

Btw, you didn't happen to watch Bryan Guerrera's email course right? I'm telling you that guy seems a big fraud to me. I don't how he is one of the top sellers in Udemy but that f#ck literally advises people to scrape emails from web and use Gmass Pro version to send emails. One guy asked him what does he (bryan) tell if the people ask him where he (bryan) have got their email and bryan said he just ignores them when he is asked by those people who he sends email.

I feel sorry for you man. Hope you get your data back. Keep contacting technical support. And next time, just DONT do that!

Oh lesson learned, believe me. I'm never doing that again. But it was only 40 emails, max. Could be even less than that.

I don't know who Bryan Guerrera is. First time I'm hearing about him. I generally don't follow courses or anything, I just Google and read Blackhatworld and put it together like that and make things happen. I can't say I follow any guru or their courses/guides/ebooks.

Right now I don't know what to do. Should I wait for them to respond to my appeal. Should I go and start changing my email on all the sites I registered with it. Is there anything else I can do other than the appeal I sent. I feel like the ground has been swept from under me. I've considered before what happens if Paypal limits me, what happens if one of my websites gets shut down, I sort of know how to proceed to patch things up if anything happens. But my MAIN GOOGLE account getting banned, In ever considered that.

Like, maybe having my Youtube banned, or Blogger banned, or Google+ banned, I can live with it. But to have my Google account banned, and so everything connected to it banned, this is new. I'm totally lost right now.

Even my account got disabled and restored 4 days back.Some body is using my mail for sending bulk amount of spam mails without logging into my account. I found that by checking my sent mail.It may be due to i have given app access to some websites and they are using this authorization for sending mails through my email id.

Things to do now:

1. Get a paid biz email. Its dirt cheap in godaddy check it out.
2. Start changing email addresses from every site to your new biz email id.
3. Always keep a separate email for youtube channel. I say 1 email - 1 Youtube channel.
4. Keep on hitting technical support @ google. Explain your situation, literally s#ck up to them ( I hate this btw, I can't stand anyone s#cking up to anyone for anything ) and get your data back. This is the only way now.
5. From now, keep everything including all your biz things in your paid biz email.

Regards.

happend to me once
only access to blogger was disabled

 

[444444]

Next time use ProtonMail for your important stuff. They'll never disable your account ever.

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

Here's the email I received right after I got disabled.

I got the email on my recover email that I had listed on my gmail account.

Also, there is an option for me to export my google data. So I figured at least I'll get the data, see what can be salvaged. But...

I tried exporting my data 3 times in the past couple of hours. Failed every time.

Yeah, thanks a lot...

Sad to hear. When i hate Google was in the year 2007. they disabled my adsense account for silly reason. Even now they didnt change.

Are you sure it was just this? I (stupidly, I might add) sent way more than that before I wised up and got a paid account, and I never got so much as a warning.

Well, I really can't say for sure. This was the only New thing I did that I never did before.

I work online full time. I use the Google services a lot. I had a number of Youtube channels, many of their subscribers and likes were not real (social exchange), same for the followers on the Google+ pages I had. On occasion I've done comments on Youtube videos, like 2-3 comments every month or every other month. I'm autoposting on 2 of my Google+ pages using Dlvr.it and an rss feed, autoposting once per day. Last night I edited a little blogger blog I have. Removed some code, removed some ads, placed 2 new banners on it, published a new article.

Seeing as they disabled my entire Google account, I can't say for sure, can't even narrow it down.

My bet is on those emails I sent because in the mail Google sent me they said my account "was disabled because it looked like it was being used to send unwanted content. Spamming is a violation of Google’s policies." Also, as I've now been made aware, it's Illegal (at least in the US) to send emails like that to people randomly. And those emails I sent where the only thing I did that I've never done in the past. All the other things I did on Youtube/Blogger/Google+ I've been doing for 2-3+ years. And I do everything in moderation.

I guess it's not over yet. They may still restore my account. I need to wait 2-3 days for them to review my appeal and get back to me.

You will be able to get access back to your email after they review.
You might lose all of your other accounts attached to it maybe, adsense, merchant, etc.

If you want to try and talk to someone asap which Im sure you do, you can email adwords team member and talk to a live person they have access to look into your emails and other accounts etc and might be able to help you get back up and running.

What I would do, is simply this.. state your Pw must have been given out and your account was taken over temporarily and you did not send those emails and if they could grant you access back to your email while your sort it out. it could work, say 50/50 chance but give it a try.


Next time do NOT use important account for BHsh*t, simple as that....dont feel too bad we have all gone through it one time or another.. its just part of the IM game

Even if you spam?
