guilty by association?

I just created a gmail and yahoo mail account. I was being a cheap ass and didn't want to pay textverified $1 so I went with this service that charges like 35 cents. I think they must be reselling their numbers because if they are charging 1/3 of their competitor it's impossible that they are not.

I did not act suspicious and did not send any emails. I just created the account and closed the window. I was using a vpn but not a free one, a paid one that's not abused. both accounts got suspended. the gmail says "this account was created using an automated bot or is associated with multiple other accounts" some shit like that. I don't understand this. so are they disabling my account because someone else used the same number to verify his email and he sent a bunch of spam and now I am guilty by association?

Yes the way you describe the scenario you are probably re-using a number. Just try again and spend the $1.

I forgot to mention, I was also using this firefox extension, I think it's called canvas blocker or canvas defender or spoofer something like that. maybe that's what raised red flags? I just don't understand why I am being treated like a spammer when I have never sent a single email from this account. I mean I get it, I used the same phone number as a spammer but still it's not logical what they are doing.

This is the problem. Wish you had spent some money on this.
