I've mentioned this a few times and don't feel like restating it but if you're curious about my "i was locked out of every single Google service for "fraud" that I didn't commit, don't know what they were talking about, and never got a single response even after sending them my drivers license multiple times to prove my identity" story it's somewhere in my comment history.
It's probably a tiny chance it happens to many people but it's something to consider. I had nobody to talk to. No store to go to. I lost cell service for a week until I migrated everything off of google.
Just something to be wary of.
