Ask HN: What options, if any, do you have when Google bans you?

I have a friend who had their Google ads account banned out of nowhere. Originally for counterfeiting (which was absurd because they generate their own goods themselves) and then it got switched to "circumventing systems." Again, totally absurd since they are not computer geeks and simply have a straightforward website. They are totally at a loss and when they appealed they got a form letter that basically says that they are still in violation and thus still banned. Yet they have no clue what they did or why they are banned. They asked me and I looked but saw nothing of any note that was problematic. I'm curious if anyone has any idea if there is another step they can take to resolve this amicably or if they just need to accept that they are permanently banned and have no recourse or reason why.
