After buying a grandfathered google apps account from gaapps.com, I got this after a few months of ownership. So what should I do now? Buy a new grandfatherd google apps account?

This is the full email I got on all administrator accounts.

Hello Administrator,

Your [Domain Removed] Google Apps account was purchased from a reseller that violated our Terms of Service, with no right to sell it to you.

To avoid future issues, you need to know:

We're closing your Google Apps account on July 23, 2015.

You can still save your data. We recommend that you migrate your data no later than July 21, 2015.

You can register a new Google Apps account and your first 30 days will be free, along with support for the duration of the subscription. If you need to save any data from your existing account, you must migrate it no later than July 3, 2015, or it will be deleted.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
The Google Apps for Work Team

    This is not the first time and not either the last time. Many will come I guess.

    So what do you suggest?

    Have you considered actually paying Google for their service at all?

    Actually rather than throwing off your money. Pay for their legit account. Or consider a cheap alternative. (Like mxroute [I can't recall the name of the guy who's running it. But it's a pretty solid company])

  • +1 For mxroute, never used them but it seems to have a lot of good reviews. Or you can setup your own mail server, if you know how that is.

    @Janniek Please change the misleading title! This message is only for purchased accounts, not the ones people registered themselves.

    Don't buy a new one. You can find more information here, that guy had the same problem and it pretty much sums up why you shouldn't buy those grandfathered accounts anymore.

    Use Yandex B|

    Use other hosted email solution like MXRoute, Zoho, Yandex, Office 365 hosted solution, or even host your own email.

    I chose the last one.

  • How does google know?

    They probably know how to use Google to track down such sales pages. Second assumption could be contact data/owner change of an account when the previous owner is assigned to a lot of other domains which were transferred too.
