Title: Hacked e-mail
Post by: Travis Retriever on April 03, 2010, 02:44:26 PM
Problem, it seems the yahoo e-mail I used for this place has been hacked for some reason.

I know this for several reasons.
1.  My facebook account was reactivated when I wanted the damn thing disabled (fuck facebook).
2.  My other yahoo e-mail account got spam from it from some guy claiming to be from the UK.

If you get spam or other bs from curiouslittledawg@yahoo.com it's not me.

I tried to reset things but because it didn't work because I can never read those damn words with the twisty letters (It took me two tries causing yahoo to lock out my account for 24 hours.

So...what do I do now?

Well, of course, notify Yahoo, and see if that email account can be disabled or deleted. Change your passwords elsewhere. There shouldn't be any problem changing your email address in this system; if there is, let me know.

Thanks.

But how do I notify yahoo?
I can't find a link to an e-mail to their support or a number to call.

Generally, send mail to "abuse" at the domain. So, try abuse@yahoo.com.

Of course I've only read this AFTER I bought 200 acres of swamp land from who I was thinking was you.
