sorry if this is in the wrong please as im not sure what part to put it in.

Ive just over the last few days been doing lots of comps now yahoo says theree is suspecious activaity on my account and i cabt send emails. Also when i go to enter comps its says my email is invalid. Ive had this email for about 2 yrs now. Is this normal? Will it let me again soon as i have wrote them an email saying that im comping at the mo. Have any of u had this problem?

Thanks everyone for your helpful, encouraging answers.

PMS, I do take advantage when Superdrug has the 5% discount on stamps; any other ways of getting cheaper stamps, I'd be so grateful as I am also using them for sending CVs out at the moment...Please PM me if you can't or don't want to post it.

on comps where you have to make a password do you use a diffrent one that your yahoo login? as someone may have hijacked your account

Sounds like you may have opened a virus??
This happened to my Yahoo account a few years back. Turned out a virus had gotten into my email account and was spamming people from my address.

Try Google mail. It's much more reliable.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh scarey stufffff mmmmmmmm should i go in and change my passwpord or wait for yahoo mail to email me back? They said 12-24 hrs

both would be a better idea. ALso if you have a secret question change that too. And if you needa make passwords for comps use a diffrent one than your login password

PS: if you do have a virus delete all suspcious looking emails, if your virus protection can be enabled to protect emails enable it

Also check and post back here:
Go to |the "sent" box and check to see if theres sevral messages that you didnt send

I use several yahoo addresses, and they have all been very slow with delivering expected emails this weekend, also when they have eventually been delivered, the time was exactly 1 hour earlier than it should have been. Maybe yahoo has been having probs this weekend. I guess it was the Pepsi nokia comp that said you had an invalid email address, as that is what happened to me also.

yeah but thats not enough to get your account banned for being suspicious
