Cannot create a Gmail account with the string "support" in it

  Any idea why ?

    To avoid someone registering support@gmail.com, or any variation of it, for nefarious purpose. (Is this a real question or a joke ?)

      It is a real question. I get that allowing support@gmail.com would not be a wise idea. But it seems weird to forbid <randomstring>support<randomstring>@gmail.com.

        That is a bit heavy handed but I am pretty sure people could be creative with "Gwalletsupport@gmail.com" or "googleplussupport@gmail.com"...
