My Gmail Account Was Hijacked.

I was very surprised when I couldn’t login to my gmail account that I’ve had for two+ years. Confused, I went through the hassle of having my password sent to me. The problem was when I went through this step it sent my password to an email address that wasn’t mine. Huh? That’s right I had lost control of my gmail account.

Now when I go through the procedures to have my account returned, I get this message from Google, “Thank you for your report. For account security, we limit the number of requests that can be processed about the same account. Please wait a few days and try filling out the form again. ”

I loved the Gmail service, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

Thanks google can you be a little more vague? In the meantime I’ve set up a new email (connected to my website) and a feature where people can upload audio comments.  See it all at www.schoolofpodcasting.com/contact
