eaglebtc Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 I just tried to send an email thru the web page @hotmail. It was not delivered, and this error message appeared: Your account is over 2560KB in size. Access to your account has been temporarily disabled. Please delete messages so your account size will be reduced and you will regain access within 24 hours or sign up for Hotmail Extra Storage. :s :roll: I knew my account was nowhere near that full, so I checked the Inbox. Lo and behold, 574 new pieces of JUNK MAIL were awaiting me. Yep, that's right -- 574! :o :dead: :mad: What came as no surprise was that they were all from the same person - brendina2@yahoo.com ( I don't know her). The email is about some stupid online casino game. I received all of these within 90 minutes, before my account was disabled (i assume). If you get any mail from this chick, it would behoove you to report it to abuse@yahoo.com immediately! You may have to use an alternative email, as I did, because mine was disabled.

hurting101 Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 That happened to me a while ago too! But I had over 2000 emails from some yahoo guy about taxes. I had to go through all the pages and delete the messages. Too bad I didn't report it back then. All the messages were sent on the same day. That's all I remember.

hurting101 Posted December 23, 2001 Share Posted December 23, 2001 Indeed. But I like Hotmail and I'll probably stick to it. Maybe I'll get another email just for spam when I have to put in my email and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
