Anyone else just got over 30 mails from Hotmail Staff saying you have to verify your account or it gets disabled?


I went directly to the site and it did ask me to imput the code shown. Just getting annoyed now.

Know how you feel. I'm in a new build flat and I've just had the customer services manager round to look at my crack. He finished very quickly fortunately.

I haven't had 30 mails, but I have had 3 all for the same account. I verified it as instructed last week, and haven't had any more since.

To make you feel better, for some reason today my usual spam emails have stopped. I usualy wake up to a dozen or so offers to surprise my woman, enlarge my pen1s, have a larger ejacualation (what is that all about?) update my security information with banks don't have an acount with or buy a company logo, but today nowt. Not even my friends offering loans who email me with email titles like "your acount suspended" have contacted me today. What have I done wrong??????

I was just on the verge of buying my meds online and my softw*re, going for the pen1s op and perhaps seeing what the fuss with the volume of my various bodily excretions is all about when they stop emailing me.

Try NOT replying. You are probably been bombarded by ad's and spyware every time you reply.

Ahhhh, your hotmail address is being used as the reply address to someones spamming. then people are complaining and the hotmail auto response is to send you an account confirm email. If the spam run was in the millions.. you are in for a busy night
