I did for me...I don't think the new AW interface has ever shown the green 'Active' or 'Valid' on the billing summary page... has it?
Instead of a new computer you could try using a VM.
So were you banned guys floggin' it actively at the time of banning?
Thank you for your inquiry. Your Google AdWords account has been suspended
due to submissions of ads that promote Google Money Tree or ads that

complaints that we have received from users and publishers, we've decided
not to allow these ads which promote unacceptable business practices.
As stated in our account suspension notice, your ads will no longer run on
Google. Future accounts you open will also be suspended.
While we regret any frustration or disruption this update may cause,
providing our users with the highest quality ads is integral to the

Setting up a new adwords account:
1. Buy a basic Windows dedicated server from volumedrive for $55 per month. You will use this from now on to manage your PPC campaigns by using remote desktop or whatever VNC/remote administration platform you want to use.
2. Never, EVER log into your banned account for gmail, youtube, blogspot etc from the dedicated server, and never login to your new adwords account (or gmail, youtube, blogspot, etc) from your current computer.
3. Call up your credit card company, tell them somebody broke into your home and stole your wallet, you left it on the bus, you got mugged and raped or whatever excuse you need so they can give you a new number.
4. Signup with your new credit card at adwords (through your dedicated server) and use a different name, street name, and if you're paranoid a new city. Only the street number and zip code need to match. For example, your banned account used the info of:
Mike Smith
1504 Palm St.
New York, NY 10000
In your New account use:
John Anderson
1504 Maple Rd.
San Diego, CA 10000
5. Congrats, you finished.
Of course you can always clear your cookies (flash cookies too) and switch your ip but then you won't be able to log into your old account without getting your new account banned the next day (unless you always clear cookies and switch ip addresses out) but that can be a pain in the ass. I'd rather just pay the $55 for a cheap dedicated windows server.

in case anyone doesn't get the above you don't really move house you just say you have. its perfectly legit (well sort of) in the cc companies eyes and happens all the time.get new card with new address by phoning cc company and giving new billing address (just moved house) while requesting to keep old address as correspondence addressthen next day phone them again and say i lost my card. new card with new number and billing address gets sent to correspondence address.

seriously i burned about 20+ adwords accounts looking for holes last month. this works and i'm only posting it because unless google feels it can ban all the "john smiths" in the world it will work forever.
i'd rather not say but i will say with an offshore account you can move around a lotAre you currently in Thailand? Did you use an amex card?
