Stories like this worry me- I've got a fair amount of stuff connected to Google and I'm afraid one day I'll sneeze in the wrong direction and end up disabled and no way to talk to anyone about it (I used to live in the SFBA and know a Googler but he's gone now).
You will probably need to just use another account. But that might not be possible.
I had my Amazon seller account banned for 15 years. I couldn't sign up for another one without it getting banned too. It was all because a scammer decided they wanted to give me negative feedback and keep the item I sold them (in addition to my refund).
No amount of talking or emailing ever got me to a person I could talk to. These companies should be fined/prosecuted for this. As a seller, there should be rules around getting banned and ways to appeal.

Just sneeze in the right direction, bro.
Why do you care? Start from scratch. Feedbacks are not useful as they were before.
I tried creating a new account and it was denied. It clearly recognised that I was the same person.
So starting from scratch is ... tricky.
My guess is the account was taken over.
Probably with the help of some insider who told the criminals that the account existed. They figured you would never notice.

What exactly should they be fined or prosecuted for?
