This evidently doesn't work for all flags. Your own experience != all other peoples' experience.

My domain ownership was already registered even before it was flagged. I _think_ it was the search console I used to request a review of the flag. But it still took that long to resolve.

This wasn't an issue of not realising what had happened for 3 days, it was 3 days after letting Google know they'd got it wrong. And spending hours on the phone to anyone I could get hold of to try to escalate etc.

You want the Postmaster Console for delivery and abuse issues, not the Search Console which is probably why you couldn't find anything.

If you've already verified your domains in the search console it is one click to add them. https://postmaster.google.com/

I think you misunderstand. I did challenge the flag in the correct place in Google's byzantine UIs. I just don't remember today exactly which UI that was.

The flag was raised against web content on our domain - it claimed our online demo was a phishing site - not on use or content of our email.
