Hey Google, Spider THIS

Posted by Karoli in Uncategorized July 10th, 2006

The GoogleBots seem to read the site more than their help desk….

I have now gone through the password reset process twice, to no avail. Here’s why it’s ineffective:

If someone has access to my account, they came through YOUR servers — MY network logs indicate no unauthorized or malicious activity. Sending me stupid form emails over and over and over again telling me to request that my username be sent to my secondary email address is absurd, since someone HAS CHANGED MY INFORMATION.

So what the HELL do I do with THAT?

Here’s what has me completely pissed off — THERE IS LITERALLY NO WAY TO GET TO A PERSON. Just endless loops of email screens that yield even more useless form emails.

THIS IS SOMETHING A PERSON needs to have a look at.

So either I get something from a PERSON soon in my email or a phone call from a PERSON, or I will begin my own discovery process to see exactly how many people have this problem and how you have managed to f&*k up their data and days. I will start posting threads reporting the problem across the net and I will do everything I can think of to discourage anyone from using GMail, AdSense, or Google in any way, shape or form.

I’m just one blogger, but the power of blogs has always been the single individual joining with others until the voices get very, very loud. Don’t be resting on your stock price, Google…because if enough people have this kind of experience you will be the latest Web 1.0/2.0 flash in the pan — here today, broke tomorrow.

Having been through a similar but less distructive experience (a provider in my case) I understand the frustration of the circular email scam. I call it a scam because all emails led to nowhere or back to another email I already had used. It is a smoke screen - to hid the lack of service - or worse yet - security.

I have never signed up for any goo-gle options - something good happened this week :) luck wise.

I know you will keep us posted - I am off to yahoo and creative commons search about the new evil empire in the land of bits and bytes.

Please let me know if you find anything....I'm beyond frustrated. I spent most of yesterday making sure there wasn't anything going on here with the network. The logs seem to indicate a clean bill of health.

The only thing of interest was on post mentioning that they thought they were hacked but after a cut and past of a long google system error message they person stated that it was an adsense proble. I did not bookmark it as there was no reason, solution, or explaination in the post.

When I get back from the doctors I will search on hope you all find a solution to the problem. I have never used gmail so my personal experience is zero.

I do understand the frustration - FRUSTRATION! AUGH and all that. How does Gmail store its passwords? emm

Hi Kmilyun...

Absolutely not. Nothing like that was done. It was as simple as signing up for any freemail account.
