I tried logging onto Blogger on Monday but couldn't because my Google account was apparently disabled - I balked at giving Google my phone number to send a verification code; but felt like I was being scammed when they wanted credit card information in an e-mail sent to me after I'd already answered some questions like when I first started using Google and some of their services [Docs, Blogger, Picasa, et al].
I started to panic when I realized there might not be a 'quick fix,' I might not ever get my Google account back and my blogging on Card Buzz maybe lost forever - I caved in to send my phone number and within a few minutes, an automated call was made to my phone with a verification code...there was my quick fix...
After entering the verification code with my user name / password, it looks like my account intact - though I don't know what caused the 'suspicious activity,' so I went ahead and changed my password.
