The Mystery Shopping thread - IX

I just wanted to put out a warning to anyone with a hotmail account. I have had mine hijacked or stolen and can't get access to it, been that way since Friday.
If anybody more cleaver than me (everone I reckon!) has came accross this and knows a solution please let me know.
In the meantime could everyone who has hotmail make sure your password is strong and includes upper and lower case and numbers. Mine didn't! Also make sure you register an alternate e-mail to allow you to re-set your password, I didn't and the system just wants to send an e-mail to my stolen account (duh!)
Don't know how much work I'm missing out on and MSN don't accept phone calls......:mad:

oh dear poor you .
Set up a new account then sign in to all your MS companies and change your email address on each site so you can start to get alerts etc from them.
Hope you sort it out.

Thanks. I have set up a new account, I had to so I could contact MSN.
I had hoped I could avoid needing to go through the process of changing my details with all the MS companies but I guess I will need to do that today if i don't get any joy from MSN.
Computers are fine when they are working but when something like this happens you realise how much you depend on them. Rant over, thanks for reading.

So did anyone see any fast pizza on TNS over the weekend? I didn't!
Still at least Martin has a voucher for them!

Nope, nothing Nothing in alerts thread either.

The MS companies seem pretty quite at the moment, had a bit from GR and phone jobs from GFK and thats it I hope it picks up this week

I really and truely don't get many queries from RE and for me it costs nothing to call them as they have a normal phone number which is free on my package. I usually end up asking them what campaigns are due to be launched and often get an idea of what is coming up which has been very useful so it's never a waste of time speaking to them

I've got a few lined up for July but nothing special - mostly rubbish fees! Have a couple of shops that I'm excited about because I like the products and I quite fancy a "free" product as it were, but other than that...

Picked up a couple of travel agents ones from GR, but I've since realised that an ex-colleague of mine may work in one of them. She used to a long time ago, but not sure she still does. I might sneakily double check with her but I'll have to let GR know won't I if she still does as I'm not meant to know anyone.

Has anyone been in this situation before?

I didn't see any come up and no one else mentioned seeing any. It was just an idea that someone had that they may be due soon and we all got a bit excited about the idea I think - well, I know I certainly did!

Let's just keep our eyes peeled...

Didn't want to post on the Alerts thread but I've just seen some released jobs come up on RE so don't know if it's worth checking wherever you are.
