They have done this to me a couple of months ago with my Gmail account and got really panicked, because I had all my contacts on it.

After I have managed to restore it more than 4 hours later, I permanently deleted my account and Google immediately contacted me with apologies, asking me for the reason I did such thing.

They have tried to persuade me to restore my account with a couple of emails, but it was already too late.

I cannot trust them anymore.

I want to have absolutely nothing to do with Alphabet or Google; if a certain service that I currently use gets acquired by either of them, then I will delete that account too immediately.

Enough is enough!

Where are they sending those emails, to your Google account's backup account?

Yes, on my alternative email.
I'm having problems where I am not getting important business emails, but only seeing them on a backup account that gets forwarded all my mail.

Also I am getting mail from a guy in India, and he is also getting my email. It's like our accounts got crossed over.

As usually, there is nobody at google to reach.

How did you get a hold of somebody?
