What if my desired username is unavailable? If your username is taken, try variations or alternative usernames. Consider adding numbers or using a different spelling. If it's been used and then deleted, or reserved by Google to prevent abuse, you won't be able to use it.
What if someone is pretending to be me? If you believe someone has created a Gmail account to impersonate you, you can report it to the relevant authorities such as the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or your local authorities. Gmail cannot mediate in disputes regarding identity theft. Review the Gmail Terms of Service for further information.
