Punchbowl email hackers

Has anyone else received an email invite from Punchbowl? I did and I attempted to open it and it immediately sent infected emails to my contacts. Google shutdown my account and I can't get them to restore. None of my info was stolen. They are getting more sophisticated now.. So scary

Account disabled/2nd appeal

My email was hacked (opened a Punchbowl email scam which sent the invite to my contacts). Google disabled my account because it thought I was sending those emails. I appealed, waited 24 hours and got a notification that it remains disabled and I can appeal a second time. I did and I gave a more detailed account if what happened. Does anyone know if the 2nd attempt was worth it? Should I go ahead and get a new account? Will Google let me?

This is so frustrating because I didn't send those messages. The only thing I can think of is that the infected emails are still going out.
