gogplay.com was released in February 2024. Just before the Spring Festival, a more difficult problem appeared in Google Play. Fully compliant products, real developer information, and all information and D&B were completed when registering a company account. Verification passed.
As a result, a removal warning appeared inexplicably in the developer’s backend:
On X day, 2024, your developer account has been removed from Google Play, and all your applications have been removed from Google Play.
What went wrong?
During the process of verifying your organization’s identity, Google found that your organization’s name and/or address does not match your Dun & Bradstreet profile information. The details you have in the Play Console must match the information in your Dun & Bradstreet profile.
To help protect user safety, when Google discovers problems with a developer’s account or the information provided, we will remove the developer’s profile from Google Play and delist the app. To learn more about developer verification, read Play Console requirements or visit the Play Console Help Center.

The organization account in this case is a Hong Kong company, registered in November 2023 (as shown below). After being used successfully for about three months, an inexplicable problem occurred.
After checking the payment information, I found that the Dun & Bradstreet verification disappeared. Compared with the picture above, the column [Deng’s Code] has disappeared, as shown in the picture below
Subsequently, the author Dunang immediately communicated with the senior team and found out that this problem also occurred in multiple accounts of other developer teams.
According to the author’s inference and analysis, this move is to combat the abuse of false information and illegal account reselling. More details will not be disclosed for the time being.
