Our company Adwords got banned a year ago, hours after our creatives got approved. The reason was our site was "phishing" and trying to steal people's data.

After appealing the ban multiple times with no luck, we weren't getting anywhere. I talked to a couple of people I know who work at Google (one works in Adwords) and basically said there's nothing you can do.

What we did find out is that the ban was completely automatic, and the most likely reason was that it couldn't render the content on the Angular (wonder what company created that) site we were pushing the ads to.

Since we have all our emails on GSuite, we've tried getting a few different people in the office to signup, and they get instantly banned after they signup.

We try every few months to appeal but get the same old "policy violation".

Looking on the bright side, I now don't get random calls from angry people in India demanding I need to "optimise" my ad campaigns.
