We all should know by now that anything Google owns is not private, is stored into Eternity and we cannot reach a human pulse at Google to discuss anything, not by phone or email. As good as Gmail gets in functions, we gotta realize our inputted and received data are not ours if/and Google can suddenly take away your access to "your" email account at anytime. In my case, I had an early Gmail account from when that did not require a referral, so, some 18 years...
As is the Big Brother Plan, we get sucked into the ease and reliability of Gmail functions, so we use it. We use it for more and more. As I did for some career and personal contacts.
Avoiding my detailed history of the past three weeks of try after try to reach Google, to recover "my" Gmail account and to seek help to get my access back from online forum and site pages, I'll summarize by saying that all input from Google in these efforts has been only automated and in first notifying me upon login that Google thinks I used some unknown device, which is not true. This is where the frolicking through Google sites & links began and led me through mazes of potential hopeful ends, but all turned out circuitous and to no avail.
Knowing your Gmail address and password for 18 years isn't enough. Some odd security question was raised -- as if I'd recall that answer from 2002! So, still, no access. Stuck. No human pulse at Google to ring.
Gist = as nice and cozy Gmail [and Google products] can be, a lifetime of contacts, communications, photos, documents, legal records, etc can, at anytime, be snatched from you... even you who gave away your cell phone number for "security" ID of your account.
X Files = Trust No One. I can't argue with that. If I ever get back into my Gmail, all contacts and selected content will be extracted. Still searching for a good though private secure substitute in an email server. Done with Big Brother.

My husband fell for this scam too. I couldn't believe it when he told me he paid $599.99 to have them clean Maleware off his computer and then protect it for the future! I told him he could have bought a new computer for less than that! I knew that what they did could have been done with a free program so I told him he had to call them and cancel and try to get his money back. He was sure they wouldn't give him the $299 he paid to have his computer cleaned off but we were hoping to get the other $300 back. He called and they did the same high pressure pitch they did the first time and convinced him to keep it. I wouldn't settle for that so I took matters into my own hands and called them myself. I told them I wanted to cancel the order and get my money back. He asked for the email address. Then he confirmed that my husband paid $599.99 and said they would credit my account within 3 to 5 business days and that we would get an email to confirm the credit. About an hour later, he received an email showing that they had done a $599.99 credit. I couldn't believe it was that easy!

The best search engine out there by far, and you can even customise the background with your own photos. :)

The worst search engine except for all the others. Compare to Bing and be SO grateful Google got dominant first.

They had aided hackers in distributing malware, spyware, bundleware and bloatware through Softonic, CNET, Google Drive, Media Fire and Dropbox by posting Green Download Links on their ads and on websites! My Toshiba Laptop had died!
I don't want to download your Xbox bundleware app for Forza Horizon 3 on any unknown website!
Tip for consumers:
Do Not Fall For Their Fake Website Links!
They Are All Scams!

Please do not do business with this scam company. I got suckered in and have paid dearly for it for the last couple of years. I signed up with them and sent money, $300.
They got into my computer and completely ruined my computer. After much heartache, they did return my money-but then is when the trouble really started-they started to call day and night telling me that my computer needed their help. This went on for many months, then suddenly stopped. I had to buy a new computer-not long after that, they started calling again to say that my computer was not working properly and that they were the only ones that could fix it-said they had all my new info, after a few weeks, my new computer completey died and was not repairable-the professional that looked at it said it had been hacked into and completely ruined. Immediatey this safecart co. Started callng again and seemed to know that the seccondcomputer was broken-the calls intensified-sometimes it was early in the morning, but mostly midnight to three or four. I am permanently disabled and do need some sleep. I waited months before I got another computer. I did get one about a month ago and now they are e-mailing me saying they have started to deduct $14.99 a month for the contract that I have with them and I have agreed to it-never would I do that. I have to wait until Monday to contact my bank officer. But if this harassment does not stop, I m prepared to go further. I will file charges. I have the phone records, etc. This is the most ridiculous thing - why are they still in business? Can anything be done to stop this?
Tip for consumers:
do not use PC
Please do not use this business-its a total mockery

This is a scam! Something was sold to me with a one off charge for that product. Safecart set it up as a recurring payment though.

Google needs to hire a corporate NEUROLOGIST
Their non sensical procedures are PATHOLOGICAL
I really think that coding too much destroys the 2 neurons that they have left intact

Employment practices at Google:
Google lied to me about a job offer they pretended to be based in Germany while in fact they were recruiting for their call centre in Dublin, Ireland.
The job description was crystal clear about the location, Hamburg, Germany. I applied and few days after I received a call from a recruiter based in Ireland.
After few minutes on the phone, she asked me if I wanted to relocate to Dublin. I said no as I had applied for a job based in Hamburg. Then the ugly truth came out. The job was not based in Hamburg despite what was written on the ads. It was based in Dublin.
It is true that Germany is not a fiscal paradise where the citizens are paying the taxes that big U. S corporations avoid by setting up their HQ in Ireland...
It is called false advertising and it's illegal.
To top it all, Google is a specialist of false job ads as they post hundreds of them every months that don't correspond to any openings (always the same jobs weeks after weeks after weeks).
It just justify the existence of their HR services, make them look healthy and collect profiles and data.
Big brother is watching you.
Google has lost many trials in relations to the following matters:
- Repeated Privacy violations.
- Repeated Copyright violations (writers and authors)
- Tax evasions schemes (under scrutiny).
Here is a marketing agency (that's what they are) who gained a quasi monopoly in different part of the internet, whose main source of profit come from tracking, gathering, reselling, distributing your private data and information that you have given up for free to be exploited endlessly.
The most amazing fact about this is that people themselves have decided to give up their civil rights and freedom for the convenience of gadgetry and the illusion of comfort.
A brave new world indeed...

There are tons of search engines that don't track you and report you to state agencies if they ask.
Please protect yourself and find another.

Google censors reviews of public places I've visited. It's pointless. Even Google keeps adding useless crap to the browser. Time to drop it for good.
