Any reason why I would be blocked from my Gmail account?

Tried to login, got the following message:

First time it happened, I thought the computer/browser might have been hijacked or something. But it’s happened on two other machines, so I guess it’s that Google doesn’t like me. :frowning:

They also don’t call back or text back. Basterds.

Anybody else have this happen to them? Did you ever get it resolved, and how?

A few weeks ago, a bunch of Gmail accounts were hijacked and used for sending spam. Accordingly, Google disabled the hijacked accounts. I don’t know if yours was one of those affected, but it’s possible.

I really, really don’t think an email company should be asking for your cell number. That could very easily be a phishing attempt. I don’t know what they could do instead, but I’d be wary of giving said number out.

I’m lucky I changed my password (it was the same as a Facebook account of mine that almost got hacked. They got my password, but didn’t get in because Facebook noticed they were from a cell phone, and I have never registered one with them.)
