Google WILL Screw You!

by Pete Egeler

Posted: 14 years ago 25 replies

Learned a HARD lesson yesterday.

I went to log into my AdSense account, and couldn't get in. Then, I noticed that I'd changed my PW, so I retried. Nothing.

Now I'm waiting as I have to apply for a new account, since Google support is non-existent.

On top of that, I'll lose every penny in my account. (Just short of the Google minimum of $100).

For a retiree, that's a LOT of lost cash.

Moral: Keep your log in and PW information up to date of Google get the Gold Mine, and YOU get the shaft.

Pete

Have you tried contacting them for support?

Click on the cant access account link -it will show you to the page where all you have to do is to input your email and they will send reset password link

Thanks

John,

Problem is, the email that I registered with some 3-4 years ago no longer exists either. So, I'm screwed either way.

And, I've tried their "reset password" on other applications. Doesn't work worth a crap.

Pete

Now... Why wouldn't you change you'r 3-4 year old email-login? There is plenty of ways you can change this on you'r account? (which you no longer have, because of your own fault)

GOOGLE will screw you? Narh, I don't think so - because if you had changed your email in the first place, then you wouldn't have to go through this - agree?

You could even just ADD A NEW email, so you would be able to login with both - I can't see why this is google's fault?

Anyway - I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you will reach the $100 soon enough!

I don't suppose you put an alternative email address when you opened your gmail/adsense account with Google? That would be useful at times like this.

Go to the support forum, contact them through your new account, try to reactivate your email (chances are that it will be possible if have created it with Hotmail, Yahoo!, Gmail, etc...)...

Don't give up so easily!

Pete, I sugest that you do this.

1. Go to webmasterworld and create an account
2. Go to the Google Adsense forum
3. There you will find a Google staff called AdsenseAdvisor
4. Pm him directly

You can also raise a thread there about this. I have got my disabled Adsense account reinstated in the past through this route.

"For a reiree, that's a LOT of lost cash"

Are you sure about that? Because as far as I can see, you're doing pretty well? You're making at least $10.000 per month according to your websites? I mean - $100 is not that much.

According to your website: "I’ll Also GIVE You The EXACT Wording Of The
Email That Has Brought Me Over $2,000 In
24-48 Hours – Time After Time."

Time after time - so this could be maybe at least 5 times per month which is $10.000 per month as I said - right?

$100 is just a grab in your pocket I guess.

But... Good luck

I just think it's pretty funny that after 3-4 years, your stiill struggling to earn $100? Maybe you should contact me on PM, so i can help you?

Anyway - I don't wan't to be a jerk, but now.. I would never trust a word you say - because... $100 is a lot for a retiree? omg - your making thousand of thousand of dollars online - it's your own words man. You need to think of your reputation.

Well here's a surefire method i guess pete:

Make a new Gmail account and try to contact them . Mostly they will do so...
Then i think they will ask for some proof / identification and more of this stuff.
You will have to prove to them that the adsense account ads which you must be using on a site -- is OWNED BY YOU .
The fact that I know of this , is because One of my internet friend had a similar trouble..though his account was hacked to be perfect.

Last week my account was hacked and G locked it for suspicious behavior. I'm glad they did - the worst the perp managed was to send some emails out. They could have accessed my AdSense account (which BTW has more than 100 bucks balance!). I just had to verify that I was the real owner by providing my mobile number and within minutes I'd reset my password and was back up and running. It really shouldn't be any more difficult in your case.

I'm not seeing how Google is evil because YOU changed your password and no longer have access to the email you used to originally sign up. Google is not your mother. Google is not going to hold your hand. As far as I'm concerned Google didn't screw you, but YOU screwed yourself.

And on top of that Google should automatically send you a check if your threshold is set at $100 right?

You are not going to get screwed. Google is not going to keep your money. There are ways to get in touch with someone there who can help EVEN if your email associated with the account has changed. This happens all the time when people get laid off or change jobs and get locked out. You're not the first.

Yes... it's difficult to get in touch with a human there, but there are several good methods listed above that should get you in touch with someone who can help.
