Lesson learned is don't mess around with companies that you can't afford to pi** off.
no, the lesson is, mess around with them, but only use accounts that you can afford to lose  ;)😅
And I did not think I was doing anything wrong, as if I did, I would have done above

They should have canceled the orders not the account

And AA should just cancel the award and not the account when they catch a sale?
What lesson would that show?

Google isn't dumb.
what do they gain now, they alredy shipped the phones,
And most ppl used non primary accounts, as if you have a Google voice number, you loose it..
It will probably be easier for me to open new accounts and update my email addresses, then fighting with them

Unless

Lesson to you and the internets: Don't $%^& with The Google.

Claim ignorance, apologize, and beg for mercy. Usually works once with AA.

they aren't upset that we bought phones, it's when we bought them..
So yes, canceling the orders does solve the problem that they had

There are few companies like Google that you give so little info when registering account; yet they know so much about you.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

I used one primary (like super primary account) and one secondary (but just as important). I really really hope google will give me access back, feeling like such a n00b :/
