Hello Google team,
I am Boyd Windsor, a user from China. Today, my account with the username boyd Windsor was mistakenly deleted. I am unable to verify the two-step verification code during the recovery process. The email linked to the account is [redacted] The alternate name is 2yrsquarhapdevo0, registered on May 17, [redacted]. Recently, I enabled Google Authenticator for two-step verification, but unfortunately, the app's binding information was deleted, causing a failure in logging in. I am unable to find the backup code as well. I have reached out to request assistance to recover access to my account. For verification purposes, the first phone number I bound was +[redacted][redacted], and the last phone number was +[redacted][redacted]. The last login password used was (King128215). Kindly provide support to restore my account or send reset information to [redacted] Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Boyd Windsor

I am trying to access my Google account using the saved password, but it keeps saying "Incorrect Password" and asking for the last password I remember using. After providing that, it says I haven't given enough information for Google to verify my account. I believe more questions should be asked to verify my identity properly and grant me access to my account. I need to regain access to my account as soon as possible.

I need assistance in restoring my email address and Google account. The process of going through recovery options has been frustrating. I recently had to make the difficult decision to put down my beloved dog who was suffering from cancer. The account that has been mistakenly deleted contains all the cherished photos of my dog. This has also caused issues with verifying charges on my credit card, impacting communication with my card provider. I am desperate to have access to my account restored and would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this matter promptly.

I recently arrived in Peru for a five-week vacation and unfortunately, my iPhone from the US has been lost or stolen. Since the phone is offline, I haven't been able to locate it. I've purchased a phone in Peru and tried calling my US phone without success. I'm attempting to access my Gmail account using an iPad and my Peruvian phone, but I'm having trouble because I can't remember my last password, and the two-way verification process is challenging without my phone. I've even tried creating a new Gmail account for verification purposes, but I still need to link it to my inaccessible account. Is there a way to speak with a representative to resolve this technology issue?

Why does Google show bias against the Jewish community?
Google claims one thing but acts differently, causing confusion.
Recently, Google's actions have raised concerns. By funding Hamas-sympathizing BLM groups, Google is being linked to supporting Hamas.
It's essential for Google to examine its allegiances. Supporting a group like BLM, which is tied to terrorism, reflects poorly on Google.
Associating with anti-Semitic individuals reflects poorly on Google as well. Conduct thorough investigations before showing support for organizations promoting hateful ideologies.

I registered for a Google Voice account for my business. I purchased a unique number from Number Barn and transferred it to my Google Voice account. However, when I call the ported number, I only get a busy signal. Additionally, the number displayed when I make calls is not the ported number but a different one from my Google Voice starter account. On checking the ownership, it shows Google Voice as the carrier for the ported number from Number Barn. I am unsure how to resolve this issue and would appreciate any guidance.

I was charged by Express VPN through Google Play, but Express VPN refunded me and canceled my account. However, Google claims I was not charged, yet the money has not been returned to my bank account. It's been over 40 days, and I need my refund promptly. My bank statement shows a charge of US$99.93 on August 23, [redacted], and Express VPN can verify this. I requested the refund and account cancellation on that same day.

Due to a phone issue, I am locked out of both my email accounts ([redacted] and [redacted]). After resetting my phone to fix the problem, I lost all my passwords and cannot log in. I no longer have access to the phone numbers associated with the accounts to receive verification codes. Google's constant password changes make it difficult to remember the correct ones. I have important legal information in these emails, making their recovery crucial. I had to create a new email address as a temporary solution.

YouTubeTV mistakenly charged me twice when I reactivated my membership. I contacted them previously about a charge during a 20-minute preview, which should not have occurred.

The charges were made from the account [redacted] I am requesting Google to refund at least one, ideally both, payments to my Paypal account. Thank you.

I need to grant someone access to my Gmail account. I updated the password on October 11th and changed the recovery phone number to mine. When the other person tries to log in using the current password, it says a code will be sent to the phone number (which is mine), but I have not received anything. I know it can take a few days to update, but it has been 6 days now and it's still not working.

Hello team,
I am reaching out for help with an issue I've encountered. My device was stolen on 23rd of September, and the individual who took it managed to access my phone despite the security measures. They compromised my Google account ([redacted]) by changing the password, security questions, phone number, and recovery email to match the Google account, making it impossible for me to recover it through the usual methods.
I urgently need assistance as this account contains over 15 years' worth of important work files and documents. I can verify my ownership of the account by providing previous emails that were saved on my PC. Please advise on what steps I should take to prove my ownership and successfully recover my account.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
Kamal Mahboobani

I am experiencing issues with my Facebook page. It has not been working for several days, although there was a brief period where it was functioning properly. Today, when I checked, it is still not working. The page's name is "JDRI." I suspect someone may be trying to hack into my account, or there might be a technical problem specifically related to the video section of my page. Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.
