Public accountability for Gmail platform abuse

Gmail account abuse fuels phishing, fraud, and spam at massive scale.

The public internet is flooded with disposable, programmatically created accounts used to impersonate businesses, evade filters, and target victims. If Gmail addresses dominate your organization’s abuse reports, Google should be pressed to respond with stronger prevention, faster takedowns, and transparent metrics.

The problem

Free email accounts are being weaponized.

Fraudsters can use throwaway inboxes to launch phishing campaigns, conduct refund scams, impersonate support teams, bypass trust signals, and rotate identities as soon as an account is blocked.

When abuse originates repeatedly from the same consumer email platform, the issue is not just individual bad actors. It is a platform-scale abuse-prevention problem.

This campaign page is backed by our own dataset. If your internal reports show gmail.com as the leading source of abuse, please feel free to reach out to this site and we will make you a contributor to the list of abuse email addresses.

1. Block programmatic signups

Detect and stop automated account creation patterns before the accounts can be used for abuse.

2. Act on repeat abuse faster

Suspend accounts tied to verified phishing, fraud, malware, impersonation, and spam reports.

3. Publish transparency metrics

Report how many abusive Gmail accounts are created, detected, suspended, and appealed each month.

To Google: We are calling on Google to take stronger action against Gmail account abuse used for phishing, fraud, impersonation, malware delivery, and spam. Public abuse reports show repeated misuse of Gmail accounts by scammers. Google should strengthen prevention against programmatic account creation, rapidly suspend accounts tied to verified abuse, improve victim reporting workflows, and publish meaningful transparency metrics about abusive Gmail account creation and enforcement. Email platforms are critical public infrastructure. Large-scale abuse should be treated as a platform accountability issue, not merely an individual user problem. We demand: 1. Stronger controls against automated Gmail account creation. 2. Faster enforcement against accounts reported for verified phishing, fraud, and spam. 3. Better reporting tools for victims and security teams. 4. Public transparency metrics on abusive account detection and suspension. Sincerely, Concerned internet users, victims, and security professionals
