Can someone help on this please??The account has been been disabled and is doing my head as I need some info from it asap

They`re saying they need to clarify that the age is old enough to have an account.They`re telling me three options

1.Sending in a signed form via mail or fax with a copy of your current, government-issued ID showing your date of birth, or
2.Uploading an electronic copy of your current, government-issued ID showing your date of birth, or
3.Performing a small transaction ($0.30 USD) on a valid credit card.

I guess it`s safe to make the payment but just wanted your opinion before I do so

Thank you in advance
 
Sounds like a scam to me mate.

Don`t know dude,I did think of that as they push towards the payment saying the other options might take weeks
 
Has the account been genuinely disabled?
 
How did they advised you to proceed to the third option? Was there a link in email? If the answer is yes, than it is most certainly a fake (phishing).
 
Bloody hell they`re good :wallbash: Just went to google help and it says

Long shot but maybe you have some malware on your computer. It is possible for malware to redirect requests for certain webpages to certain others. Check the address in the address bar, post it here if it's not something like http://mail.google.com/ or https://mail.google.com or something like that.

If you google "gmail age restriction" all becomes clear.
 
Either fax or send the id or do the credit card transaction.

Or just open a new gmail account.

So you think that payment way it's safe,also does it have to be a credit card?
