Earlier quoted context omitted.

There have been quite a few complaints along these lines on HackerNews and elsewhere. Sometimes Google gets it wrong, and then people end up stuck, as you can't contact them.

Did said complainants seem to evince competence or willingness to investigate?

As noted, there are years of such complaints. Evince internet search competence.

To be super clear you’re trying to buy ads or serve them? I had a pretty bad experience with buying ads in the past as they kept flagging my account because I was using a virtual CC. I had to reach out to one of my ex-colleagues over there to get unblocked…

Someone should start a fourm for connecting above-board, legitimate businesses with xooglers the way special interest groups connect corporations with former congressmen who want to become lobbyists. You'd hire them as "marketing consultants," and they would be able to represent you.

There was something similar shown here on HN a few months back (but for current Googlers) [0]. Apparently this counts as commercial bribery. I guess ex Google Ads folk giving their market expertise to another company as an SEO Consultant might not be a problem, unless somehow they're breaking an NDA about divulging company secrets or special sauce?
