[Google Gmail] WTF, disabled account?

What the hell is going on with my account?
I just tried logging in and I got this big fat suspension thing.

I haven't done a damned unusual thing at all. What do they think, I'm a bulk mail sender or something? Jesus. I've been using my email today just like I do everyday, which is hardly anything but a few "you have a new private message on the ____ Forums" or "CNN breaking news alerts". That's like the only kind of stuff I have in my inbox!

I don't get this.
:/

Never seen anything like that before.

"this account has been disabled for up to 24 hours."

At least its only temporary!

Are you sure it's not a phishing email from [email protected] asking for your credit card orsomething :$

:lol:

It can't be phishing if he got the warning when he logged in, can it?

Well, best of luck in getting it straightened out. Like Ron said, I have never seen or heard of anything like this.

He probably just used that software that makes your Gmail account another hardrive.

Do what they say.

How? I have no email! :p



Well, I did get back in this morning.
I have no idea what it was all about, I wasn't using my email suspiciousley at all.

Here's my email activity that suppoedly disabled my account:
-1 email alert from Gamespot
-1 email alert from NamePros regarding a new PM
-1 email alert from CNN Breaking news
-3 spam emails I deleted on the scene.

I swear that is all of the email I got yesterday and I didn't send anything.
Well, it just goes to show that Google is backfiring on innocent users.

Like I said, I'm finally in my account now (less than 24 hours later). I don't know what was up with that. I guess using your account in a normal non-harmful way is a good way to get it suspended for 24 hours?

Anyways, thanks for the good luck wishes guys, they must have worked!

Now I can get back into my Gmail and hopefully now I can get back to some people regarding eBay stuff which is something important I intended to do yesterday but couldn't.
