Holy hell, not again!

My google account has been locked AGAIN for "unusual activity" and zorb is out of the country! Does anyone have a phone number for anything at Google that I can talk to about this?

This is ridiculous.

I don't have a number or anything, unfortunately, but have you thought about setting up another address that gets all of your email forwarded to it, as well as Gmail's 'mail as' function? That way you could still access all of it, and even reply if you needed to.

Sucks that they're locking you out, though!

I think that even if I had a separate account that everything was forwarded to, my gmail account wouldn't forward while I was locked out -plus I still couldn't answer anything sitting in there now. But it might work for things that come to my heidi8.com account....

I think the forwarding still works, because I was locked out for forgetting my password a little while ago and the email was still forwarded. I would assume that it would still work, because they can hardly cut off functionality...

But yes, not really solving this particular instance, unfortunately :( Just offering potential solutions for the future.

I think it's a terrific idea and I will definitely try it. There's no downside in doing it, so, yeah.

But for now?

Enraged.
