Google Disabled my account

[Scorpion Ghost]

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.

I would take that deal so fast. Gmail is what hurts me most, because of customers and various important emails I have in there. I just need it back even for a little while in order to extract all the info and contact my customers and tell them where to find me from now on.

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.

Where would I find the email? I've never used adwords before. And my adsense was sort of used for about a month on my Youtube channel, but that ended when Youtube rolled out the new monetization rules. I didn't have the 4,000 watchtime hours.

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.

Bullshitting them, I guess that ship has sailed. In my short appeal message I basically told them I sent about 30 emails, I apologized, I swore on everything I love that I'll never do it again, and I begged them to restore my account. I'm basically pretty much quoting myself, "swear on everything I love, I apologize, I'm begging you," these were all part of my appeal message.

I had just woken up, and I guess I figured honesty and groveling is the best policy, ha...

Godddamnit.......

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

Yeah, you're right on that. Reading your message I got a flashback of how I started my first real website (wordpress, self-hosted). How it happened was, I was new in IM and I started a blog on Blogger. A make money online/internet marketing blog. I was posting content and had all these referral links and banners all over the place. And adfly links haha. Then one day blogger banned my website. So I got pissed off, I bought Hostgator hosting, I bought a domain, and I started my real website. I still have it to this day.

A few years back I started selling on Fiverr. I made like $300 in my first month, was all excited. Then Fiverr suspended my account, froze my money for 30 days, asked me to give them photo of my ID in order to pay me, and then banned my account after it was done. So I got pissed off, I created a Fiverr clone. I still have it to this day. Made a couple of thousands of dollars from it. I'm still banking with it.

Here we are again. Except this time shit's really serious. We're talking Gmail, Youtube channels, Google+ pages, Bloggers, Webmaster Tools, and everything in between. This is the hardest I've been hit since I started online, no doubt. The biggest problem I ever had. I'm feeling the burn.

Thanks man. I appreciate it.

Tell me, you said the following in your last message:

"You will be able to get access back to your email after they review."

How can you be sure? Did you have this happen to you before?

 

[MrRandQm]

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.

Some years ago before I was in IM I had my main outlook email banned that was connected to literally everything.
It was disabled for suspicious activity while the only thing I did back then was playing games so the only possible suspicious activity I can think og would've been someone hacking me.
That email was made probably like 7-8 years earlier so there was no way i still knew the recovery details hence I couldn't get it back. RIP

yes a few times, on a few different accounts, BUT i basically said someone hacked into my email and they replied back giving me a link to restore access to my account and change PW and confirm info and such, but you already sent in appeal to them so I would advise calling the numbers i provided and trying to get to a live person and have them help you....

I tried calling, but the toll-free number is not free if calling from outside the US. I'm not in the US, so I'll have to pay for the call. I don't have a lot of money on my sim card, and I can't go deposit money now because it's late. I'll let things sit until tomorrow, maybe they reply to the appeal, and if they don't then I'll give them a call tomorrow and hope I talk to a human being.

 

[Jhon92]

I'm not in the US

Simply you can try Textnow or google voice for making the free call even if you are not from the US

True. I actually have 3 or 4 Google Voice numbers I could use.

But on second thought. I need the comfort of my own phone if I'm gonna call Hell.

I just think it's best i call them from my actual number.

 

[theRevolt]

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

Play with fire and eventually, you will get burned ...

You know. Now that I had a little time to digest the situation.

Not giving me any warning, any notification, not even allowing me to get my emails and stuff. That ain't right. I've put a lot of time and effort in my Gmail/Youtube/Google+/Blogger/Webmaster/Feedburner/etc accounts.

I read some horror stories on googleproducts forum. They could easily keep me suspended, and all my info is gone, I can't get anything back.

Say what you will, but this isn't right. I didn't kill anyone. And if I did do something wrong on Blogger, ban me on Blogger. If I did something wrong on Youtube, ban me on Youtube. But don't ban my entire Google account. That's just evil.

That said...

All things considered, from now on Google products/services are the enemy. Anything belonging to Google and needing a Gmail/Google account to use, I will consider a massive red flag and look for alternatives. And any Google product/service I do use I will not take seriously. I won't be using them anymore for anything serious unless I absolutely have to. For example, I'll switch to a paid email, and use any gmails I have as throwaways. But on the other hand, I'll get back onto Youtube, as a parasite, for the traffic. I'll use their webmaster tools, just to submit my sites/sitemaps.

And I'll keep it:

1 gmail - 2 yt channels max
1 gmail - 2 blogger sites max
1 gmail - 2 sites in webmaster tools max

I have about 10 gmail accounts. So there's no scarsity as far as that goes. I can diversify.

It's funny, 2-3 years ago when I was getting into making my own websites, and I wanted to put analytics on them, I first used Google analytics. But I hated it. And at some point I read a thread here on Blackhatworld of someone saying to stay away from Google services. Maybe it was Bartsimpsonio, I can't remember. And that sort of "made it okay" I guess for me to consider other options. Because before that I thought that if it isn't Google, you'll just end up hurting yourself, your rankings/seo.

I always said that I hate this centralization of power around Google and Facebook. But at least if Facebook bans you, they don't also ban your Instagram, and whatever other services Facebook owns. Facebook doesn't force you into a centralized Face account. You can make a Facebook with any email, and make an Instagram with a completely different one, no problem.

If Google+ was one service, and Youtube another, and Gmail another, and Blogger another, each of them "separate" from the next one, you'd never risk an "internet-wide" ban. But Google really fucked it. And I don't wanna play anymore (insert middle finger here)

I'm rambling a bit now.

My next step now is to get a paid email, like one of the previous posters suggested. Whether Google gives me my account back or not, I won't be using Gmail as my main email anymore. As far as Youtube and Blogger and the rest of it, I'll wait and see. If they give me my account back, I'll keep using in heavy moderation. If they don't, I'll recreate what I need on my other Google accounts, diversify heavily, and keep rocking.

Oh Google. If you're gonna have an "Export Data" option available when you disable someone's account, make sure it at least works will you please. Now go fuck yourself!

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

Play with fire and eventually, you will get burned ...

Yes. I played with fire, you're right. I allowed myself to have a huge part of my operation rely on a heavily centralized system, a free system, operated by ghosts and robots.

This is not the first time I'm learning my lesson. It might be the last.

Next time there'll be no next time.

Well, this is next time. So there won't be a next time

Then they check log in IPs and realize OP was making up a sad little excuse...

It's not a sad little excuse. If you can bullshit your way out of something you do it, or at least you try.

Personally I told them what I did very honestly, I apologized, and it's up to them now to restore my account or not.

Not that it makes any difference. Banning my blogger years ago was a great thing for me. It got me pushed in the right direction, I created my first real website. Fiverr banning my account years ago was a great thing, it got me starting my own e-commerce store, and then another one, and another one.

And now, this is awesome. I might just start a search engine

No but, this is good. I'll come out of this stronger and smarter, and more independent! Maybe I should thank them.

Proton mail hmm. Was the account connected to a phone number?

Proton mail hmm. Was the account connected to a phone number?

I'm about to start a new thread revolving around this topic. I want to do it right, and I need some advice.

Thing is, I already have a few emails like that because I have hosting with hostgator, so I have emails for my websites:

[email protected]
[email protected]
etc

But I'm unsure if I should maybe register a domain in order to get: [email protected]

Or if I should use some service online.

I'm unsure what's more professional and safe and also affordable (as I already have my hosting, maybe I can piggyback off that and get a custom email really cheap).

I'm going to start a thread about that now.

 

[seoxz]

Try paying for the premium google services lol maybe it works talk to their sales

 

[seoxz]

Google offers premium email hosting with higher storage under the business section

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

Try paying for the premium google services lol maybe it works talk to their sales

Before when I was reading the googleproduct forum I read a post from one guy who claimed he got his gmail disabled, and this guy actually had paid the premium google thing because he wanted more storage or something.

At the end of the thread, the last thing he asked was, "what about the money I paid?"

Why was this guy submitting appeals and asking on the googleproducts forum? What kind of shit is that. You pay for something, you deserve customer support you can contact via email, chat, phone call, smoke signals, all of it.

I don't wanna play. Google is too big to offer support, too big to care, too big to... fail

"Find alternatives to Adsense and all Google products. There are excellent alternatives."

I'm game!!!

 

[Scorpion Ghost]

Okay. I know what I'm going to do as far as email goes.

You can see here: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/getting-a-professional-email-help-please.1026865/

The great thing is that I'm going to get a branded domain name, a .com one, which is the EXACT name+last name as I have on my Facebook account. And when I contact my customers and business partners that I currently have on Gmail, I won't have to tell them my Gmail got disabled or some other bullshit like that, I'll get to tell them I decided to get a branded professional personal email address, because I'm into some deep nd serious Bizzznes

Boom. It's all gonna work out.

Fuck you Google! I spit on you!
