I get occasional probes from Google services against my domain, clearly made by bad actors who are trying to break into it. It's not "lose your domain with a slip of the finger" territory, but it's still not great.

There doesn't appear to be a way to tell Google, "I own this domain, just block all of these bogus requests" other than signing up for the services in question (which I don't want to do!)

Scammers will be scammers, but this is also pretty shitty behavior on Google's part.

When I was an admin for a Google Apps Domain, you couldn't even stop people from making a google account that aliases a google apps account.

Best I could do was run reports and yell at people. But it really would have been nice to stop all attempts to make google accounts for the domain.

Exactly. Google's behavior here is terrible.
