To whom it may concern,
I am Ms. M.C. I am confused as to why the government is sharing my personal information with other companies without my consent. My email was meant for my use only, yet I am receiving emails from other companies. I have blocked and reported them, but no action has been taken. This breach of privacy is unacceptable. Where is the respect for privacy? Other companies having my email address and constantly contacting me is affecting my mental well-being. It is crossing the line. This is like being harassed by telemarketers via email. It's truly disappointing that this is happening. Something needs to be done - the government needs to address this issue. I trust that this message will be heard by those who can make a difference.
Sincerely,
M.C.

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with my email account being compromised.
Five days ago (June 10th), my phone was stolen.
When attempting to log into my email account, I discovered that my password had been changed two hours prior to my phone being stolen.
Despite trying the "forgot my password" option, the verification code was sent to the stolen phone number.
Repeated attempts to recover my account led to verification codes being sent to a similar email address or a blocked one.
Even trying to log in from previously used devices resulted in codes being sent to the mentioned email addresses.
Currently, my Google account is locked, with a message to try again after a few hours due to multiple attempts.
I urgently need to regain access as this account is for a hotel, and crucial information is stored within.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
Regards,
E.E.

I am encountering an issue with receiving emails meant for someone else due to a similar email address. My email is [redacted], but I often receive emails addressed to [redacted] While Gmail recognizes both versions as the same address, other companies do not. To unsubscribe or correct this issue, companies require an email sent from abexample, which I cannot do as I can only send from a.b.example. Is there a way to temporarily send emails from abexample to rectify this situation?

Hello, I recently relinquished my phone as I am beginning a journey as a Buddhist monastic. I disabled the two-step verification on my Gmail to avoid being locked out without access to a phone for codes. Everything was fine until today when I attempted to log in from a different computer and was prompted for two-step verification with my ex-husband's phone number ([redacted]).
I double-checked that the two-step verification was off on my usual computer, and I can't find my ex-husband's phone number listed in my account. I am worried about his number being linked to my Google account.
Any assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My partner has initiated divorce proceedings and has started to act uncooperatively. Initially, he restricted my access to our [redacted] business email, where we are both partners. Subsequently, he also blocked me from our shared [redacted] account, which is crucial for managing various matters including bills. He altered the recovery email to the [redacted] address. These emails have served as our primary means of communication for years, and I am in need of a way to regain entry as his actions are concerning. Thank you.

I urgently need assistance with my Google Contacts not syncing on my phone. Unfortunately, I am a disabled individual who relies heavily on my phone. Initially, I encountered an issue with the Gmail app not accepting my main account password. Furthermore, I cannot access my secondary account as I have misplaced the recovery email containing the new password. This predicament has rendered me unable to utilize the app for my multiple accounts due to the demand for the lost secondary account password. The persisting login problem for months has now led to me being locked out of the app entirely. I humbly request help to resolve these issues promptly so I can use Gmail seamlessly on both my laptop and phone. Despite these challenges, my Chromebook laptop login for the primary account remains unaffected. Thank you for your understanding and assistance.

After many months, I tried logging into my old account and received an error message saying, "You have attempted to sign in too many times. For your protection, you can't sign in at the moment."
I am familiar with my account password and have access to my recovery email. I successfully received the verification code through email. However, when prompted to enter my mobile number for verification, I realized I hadn't added one to my old account. Despite using my current number for verification, I still encounter the same error message mentioned above.
I would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thank you in advance.

My father's mobile was damaged in an accident. I realized I couldn't access his email because the password had been changed without our knowledge. I have all the necessary information and the mobile number associated with the account is still active. The account recovery process involves receiving an OTP on the mobile and then on the email, but we can't access the email due to the changed password. I need help restoring access to this account. The email in question is [redacted] My email address for correspondence is [redacted] Thank you.

Hello,
I'm experiencing difficulties recovering my account despite following all instructions provided by the Help Centre.

I kindly request your prompt assistance in regaining access to my account, [redacted], as it is connected to a legal case.
Thank you.

I traveled from Ghana to Nigeria in May and logged out of my email on my phone. When I tried to log back in, my iPhone was locked and I had to add a recovery email. It was unlocked for two days, then disabled and now asks for my mobile number for a code, which I have misplaced for over 8 months. Can someone help me regain access to my account?

I am currently experiencing issues with my Gmail account. Every time an outside email tries to send me a message, they receive an error message stating "*.*.* Recipient address rejected: Access denied." My Gmail address is essential for work, and it's causing problems.
Furthermore, when using Outlook, I receive a message saying, "No connection could be made because the target computer actively refused it." This seems to be related to a server application not running on the remote host.
I urgently need Gmail to operate a server application connected to my account to resolve these email reception problems.

I am having trouble accessing my Gmail account due to having recently changed my 2FA phone number. Despite setting up an outlook email as my recovery email, I am not receiving any options to recover my account through it. When attempting to log in, the verification code keeps going to my old phone number, causing further issues. Google previously confirmed that my outlook email is linked for recovery, but this feature doesn't seem to be functioning correctly. I am eager to find a solution as soon as possible to regain access to my Gmail account without any complications related to the outdated phone number.

My phone was stolen, and now I am unable to access my Gmail accounts. Although I know the passwords for two of them and the recovery email for one I can't remember, I am unable to get past the security verification which requires a code sent to my phone number. I need assistance in changing my recovery phone number or speaking to someone who can help me regain access to my accounts. I have provided my boyfriend's email for contact regarding this issue since I am unable to access my Gmail accounts.
