The username I want is taken

You won't be able to get a certain Gmail address if the username you requested is:

• Already being used
• Very similar to an existing username (for example, if example@gmail.com already exists, you can't use examp1e@gmail.com)
• The same as a username that someone used in the past and then deleted
• Reserved by Google to prevent spam or abuse

Someone is impersonating me

If you believe someone has created a Gmail address to try to impersonate your identity, you can:

• File a report with the Internet Crime Complaint Center
• Contact your state's Office of Consumer Protection

Unfortunately, Gmail is unable to participate in mediations involving third parties regarding impersonation. Learn more in Gmail Terms of Use.
