Got some serious amount of gmail accounts blocked these days, asking for phone verification. I use proxies, I connect trough other people's net, I tried not to show any hyperactivity on them (such as automated registration ) - nada, sooner or later he just kicks me out and say "ok spammer, give me your phone number!!"
anybody else experiencing similar issues these days?
No, not really. However I just logged in at an old account and the sure they asked for my phone number. I didn't give it to them, but could log in just fine. I'm using an email client to grab most of my email though, so I rarely log in.
not really surprised though, i was expecting it from some time now that G start to kill gmail spammers, I just wondered whether this moment has come or it's some user issue
