No. That cannot address my problem. I called Google (US) and they are looking into my issue, so I am waiting. On 4 June 2013 21:05, Job Muriuki <muriukin@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Odhiambo, Try tor since google and most web services use the IP to locate the country. I used it to register google voice only available to USA google users.

Google seems to retain alot of information about account activity.
I created mine in India ages ago, and when I'm logging out, I still see alot of <google.co.in> as I get logged out. It's possible Google just defaulted your account to Kenya, (don't ask me how they did that....)
I agree with you here. Think they domicile accounts to specific regions to assist in tracking suspicious activities.
They most likely keep a history of where you are located the last 6 hours and if account show up across the other side of the world all of a sudden, it could indicate account hijacking.
Seen that on Facebook too. I don't have a Facebook account so I can't see what's in a friends profile. A friend of mine just sent her password to get around the problem and I couldn't log on to her Facebook account. The only possible explanation was the geographic distance.

Yes, I am logged into a PC in the UK, and no, I am not installing any device(s). I am trying to purchase something that is sold in the Google Play - sold in the US and the UK. I have a UK address I'd like this item shipped to. When I get to the point of checkout, I am asked to login and the moment I do with my gmail account, I get presented with that notification. I need a way to circumvent it.

You are logged in the UK but the device you are trying to install in is in Kenya right?
