Notes
Shane,

We set up Aura Derm and the account got suspended. I was using my Credit Card and it got flagged. What do we suggest you do.

I'll work on this. Added a comment to the campfire for this client as well. 
Chris Zelig, Medstar
Any idea what is going on? 
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
My guess is that we are using the same card for different clients and that may have triggered a flag by their security team. 
Chris, if you or Whitney can message me the missing info I need, I can open up a ticket with them right away.

I added notes to the campfire in Cliffside as to how this needs to be resolved. 

If this is going to be an ongoing issue and the clients don't need visibility into their accounts we should consider running everything from one account. 
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Thanks Shane.
For a minute I thought we may have resolved this.
whitney.zelig@gmail.com, Medstar whitney.zelig@gmail.com can we discuss this later or tomorrow? 
I want to start the process of getting the suspension removed but I need the missing information in order to fill out the form. 
Chris sent me a late night text yesterday regarding this and 2 this morning regarding this issue so lets try to resolve it ASAP please. 
Thanks. 
Chris Zelig, Medstar
Shane Quast, Medstar Shane - I have a medstar media acount. The payment method is active. The only issue is at some point after three months the clients will pay directly for their ads so I do not know how we could assign multiple payment methods to the same account and assign them to different campaigns. Shane Quast, Medstar Shane  - can you please QB this whole process. My team is not familar with this you and you are the expert. Thanks
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Just got a response from Google so we are moving fwd.

We’ll send you an update after the investigation is complete, typically within three business days.

I received an update from Google yesterday and this is what they replied. It appears we have to APPEAL this case since we seem to be in violation of their TOS and need to make some changes.

Dear advertiser,

Thanks for reaching out. Our team has found some suspicious behaviour in the payment activity of your Google Ads accounts. We've temporarily suspended your Google Ads accounts to help stop any unauthorized activity.

To get your ads up and running again, we suggest that you:

  • Read up on our Terms and Conditions and our advertising policies to make sure you understand all requirements.
  • After you've made the changes needed to fix the policy violation, you can appeal the suspension here. A specialist will be assigned to your case, and you will receive a response within 3-5 business days but sometimes it can take longer.
  • If you think we’ve flagged your account in error you should still submit an appeal explaining why.

We understand that you have two accounts suspended. We request you to please fill out the form for the suspended accounts, and once the form is filled, a new ticket will be raised to and support assistants will be able to assist you further.


Thanks,
The Google Ads team

Let's get them on the phone ASAP
Hector Mota, Operations Manager at Medstar
Since I added your phone number - 702 - as contact, you will have to call them Whitney. Plus, you are privy to all the information they may ask you. 
So please do so right away. They got me really upset with this suspension since their explanation is so vague. 
Please let me know what you decide to do. 
Thanks.
