I rarely use my account, but recently I needed to verify my identity on a website. When I attempted to log in, I received the following message from your website: "It appears that this account was utilized in a manner that violated Google's policies. This account was deactivated on October 21, [redacted]. As of September 16, [redacted], this account may be considered for removal. If you believe your account was mistakenly disabled, please submit an appeal promptly.

Hello,
I am having trouble accessing my Gmail account. The recovery phone number I initially set up is in Pakistan, but I am currently residing in the USA and have a new USA phone number. Despite not changing my password, the system indicates it was changed a day ago. This email is vital as it is linked to my USCIS account, from which I receive verification codes. I have been unsuccessful in reaching USCIS for assistance. I can validate my ownership with details from my green card and provide my previous password. I will share the Gmail ID shortly. Your prompt help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I received a refund for a game I didn't authorize, but my bank account was locked briefly due to suspicious activity when they tried to deposit the refund. I was instructed by a customer service representative to add another account for the deposit, but the money has not been credited yet. I am unable to locate the contact number I used previously and have been unable to reach a live person for assistance. The amount refunded for the unauthorized Google Play charge was $[redacted].99. I seek help to resolve this issue without providing my account number for any charges. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I've had my Chromebook for a couple of years, and I've only changed my password once. Recently, I've been unable to sign into my Chromebook or my Google account on it. Even though I can sign into my email on my phone through account recovery without any issues, the password remains the same. I attempted to change my password and use the new one, but it didn't work. I've restarted my Chromebook, but the problem persists, and I'm unsure of what else to try.

I can't access my Gmail account anymore. I no longer have old devices, phone numbers, or access to a previously used server or network. There's a lot of important personal information in my email that I need. I've been trying to get help from Google to recover my account, but the steps they gave me don't work for my situation. I really need to speak to someone directly. Please assist. Thank you. C.

I created a website called www.womenandmenfallenangels.com hosted on netministry.com using the alias Fallaan Kin Mind. Erik from netministry informed me that Google has already indexed it. I kindly ask for assistance to make three adjustments on Google search results. Firstly, please replace Stephanie Treleaven with Fallaan Kin Mind for www.womenandmenfallenangels.com, which includes cartoon banners, a book cover, a synopsis, "About Me" section, and a comments part. Secondly, remove indefinitely from Google search results the Online Store link www.womenandmenfallenangels.com/Store. Lastly, eliminate permanently from Google search results the specific product link www.womenandmenfallenangels.com/store?productid=[redacted]&categoryid=&keywords=. Thank you all for your help. Blessings.

Dear Google,
I am an international student in France and obtained a French telephone number, [redacted]. I utilized this number to create my Google account under the email [redacted] I have made many international friends on the Line app using this account.
Upon returning to my home country, I discovered that I had been logged out of this phone number. Now that I have the opportunity to return, I wish to reconnect with my friends, but I am unable to access my Google account as it is linked to the unreachable phone number.
Despite multiple attempts on Google's platform, I have been unsuccessful in regaining access. I kindly request your assistance in recovering my Google account without the old telephone number, allowing me to reconnect with my old friends.
If you can resolve this issue, please contact me at this email address. Thank you for your help.

I registered for Google DocuSign in June [redacted] and used it for a one-time transaction to sell a house. I was charged for August and September [redacted], unaware of how to cancel the service. After numerous attempts to reach out to various numbers, I managed to contact a live worker who guided me through canceling the service online. I'm seeking a refund for the unused months of August and September [redacted].

I attempted to start a free trial to stop the ads, however, my payment was declined. I am unsure if it was due to insufficient funds or selecting the wrong card. I did not respond to the security question which I don't typically answer as it's usually me making the transaction. My premium YouTube account has started showing ads and when I tried to access my Google account, it was disabled. Consequently, YouTube Music is not functioning despite my subscription. I am frustrated as I can't verify my identity or access my Gmail, leaving me in a frustrating situation. I request Google to reinstate my account promptly as this ordeal is unacceptable and I am dissatisfied with this experience.

Hello, my name is Brian. I've recently been locked out of my Google account, [redacted], due to no longer having access to my old phone number for verification. While I can remember my password, the text message verification is a challenge since I no longer have that phone number. Although I have a recovery email tied to the account, all it does is send my username, not allowing for a password reset. I'm feeling quite frustrated as I don't wish to lose all the data I have stored in my account.

I own Craig and Sons Junk Removal. When I search for local junk haulers near me on Google, my company does not appear unless I specifically type in the name. This is frustrating because potential customers searching for junk haulers may not know the specific names of companies. It would be more beneficial if my business showed up in local search results for relevant keywords like "junk haulers near me."

I kept seeing Google ads about cloud services, and out of frustration, I clicked on one claiming to have a free trial just to stop the ads. Unfortunately, my payment was declined, and Google disabled my account for suspicious activity without specifying the issue. Now I can't access my Google Music, YouTube Music, or use Google Lens. Despite creating a new account, I need my original account reactivated to fix the issues with my phone.
