Also: if anyone else runs into problems, let me know. No guarantees that I can fix anything, or even be able to answer your questions/talk about what triggered the account problems though.

And also: sorry. I know it sucks. People at Google know it sucks. I'm pretty sure people who are directly involved in this stuff are thinking about it.

PS: Oh god I hope I don't drown in email ;)



Email sent. Thanks for any help you can give :)

Hopefuly there are some clever people working on it. The things I take issue with are:

1. No reason is given... (In my case I actually saw some password reset emails sent to my backup email. So I assume someone was trying to force access).

2. All logins are frozen - my own fault for using a single google login for lots of things - youtube,blogger,adsense,adwords,gmail etc - I'm locked out of them all, for the simple reason that google told me it'd be "easier" to use my existing google details to login.

3. No human support... Canned response emails with a line "We will investigate" 48 hours later just doesn't cut it.

Like I say, hopefully the top teams at google are looking at this one. It's really a way to kill paying customers. I'm seriously going to take this as a big lesson myself.
