My Gmail account has been hacked, and it seems that my Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram accounts have also been compromised since they are all linked. I have exhausted all efforts, including reaching out to the hacker for the password, but they are not cooperating. The hacker has changed the recovery information to their email and phone number. I have sought police assistance twice, unfortunately, they were unable to provide a solution.

I am trying to regain access to my Gmail account after forgetting my password. Despite being informed that the account is still active, when attempting to reset the password, the recovery code sent to my alternative email is not working.

After I changed my Gmail password, Outlook no longer accepts the update, preventing access to my emails. The error message reads, "Your email server rejected your login." I've attempted to re-enter the password multiple times without success. I would appreciate assistance in resolving this issue.

I recently relocated to a different country and I am trying to access my old Gmail account, which is linked to my Playstore account. While I initially remembered the password, I struggled with it and made several failed attempts. When I finally remembered it, it prompted me to confirm my identity by calling me or sending an SMS, but I can't receive these verification methods as I am in a different country now. Despite having a recovery email linked to the account that I can access, I couldn't use that option to recover my account. I am unable to find a way to prove my ownership of the account. This situation is frustrating as I rely on this email for Playstore access and creating a new one is not an ideal solution.

Yesterday evening around 6:00 PM PST, my secondary Gmail account ([redacted]) automatically logged out, and I am unable to access it using the password I normally use. I suspect it may have been hacked, and this account is crucial as it serves as the recovery email for many of my other accounts, including PayPal and my primary Gmail account. Although I can't recall the exact date it was created due to it being a while ago, I can provide additional details about the account. Over the past year, the account has only been accessed from my HP Omen laptop, and the IP address should remain the same. I am also able to provide proof of my identity if needed.

I'm grateful for the security measures in place, but accessing my accounts has become a challenging task without the device or recovery email. Due to the pandemic, the lack of customer service has made it even more difficult to recover a hacked account. Dealing with multiple phone thefts this year has led to changes in all my account information and made me feel overwhelmed. As I navigate a tough divorce and cope with the loss of my daughter, being able to access my emails, particularly with memories of my baby girl and essential business information, is crucial for me to move forward. I am seeking assistance from Google to regain access to my long-held email accounts, [redacted] and [redacted] I recall the original and subsequent passwords used but lack the necessary recovery information. Reestablishing access to my Gmail accounts is paramount for me during this challenging time.

I need assistance in recovering my old Gmail account. Unfortunately, I accidentally deleted everything from my phone, which led to me being locked out of my account as I can't recall my password. Despite trying various recovery steps, I am unable to remember the old account information. While I do have a recovery email linked to my account, Google is not providing me with the option to use it for my [redacted] account, and this is confusing to me. Although my lost account does have a recovery email, the recovery process only offers the eight-digit backup codes, which were not part of my account setup. I am struggling with this situation and would greatly appreciate any help in resolving it.

A few days ago, I went to a Huawei store for some assistance. The advisor handled my phone throughout the visit. Shortly after, I received a notification that someone accessed my personal email from a Huawei P30 Pro, a phone that is not mine. Later, I got another notification stating that this person linked their phone with my Google account, a step I did not initiate and am unaware of why this phone is involved. I changed my password, but I am still concerned about the security of my personal data and the use of my email information. I am hoping for a quick resolution to this unsettling situation that is affecting me and should not have occurred.

I have encountered an individual, possibly a woman, who is using a Google Gmail account to request money via gift cards and has fraudulently taken a substantial amount, approximately a couple thousand dollars from me. It seems she may be utilizing her Google Gmail to deceive multiple individuals. She is associated with a Google phone number, [redacted], and her Gmail address is [redacted] The individual goes by the name Kenze Jenifer Mills. There is evidence of these transactions in my archived Gmail messages. She insisted on receiving a copy of my driver's license and has persistently requested money with promises of a relationship in return. Unfortunately, she deceived me into believing she would meet me at the airport by using gift cards for an airline ticket, but she never arrived after a five-hour wait. Over the past few days, she has asked for $[redacted] and then an additional $[redacted] in the span of 9 days. It is crucial to take action promptly to prevent further incidents of this nature through Google since her intentions appear to be financially exploiting men. Additionally, she is using someone else's images, that of Sarah Vandella. I seek a swift response and resolution to halt this fraudulent activity. Thank you, David Willoughby.
