Please Help Me Reopen My email Account

Options
A couple of days ago when i tryed to log on to my e-mail account i got this notice '' Your account has been blocked '' to reopen your account enter a mobile number to receive a verification code . I have entered my mobile number several times and have always got the reply '' The format of the number in invalid please try again

I am certain that the format of my mobile number is correct so what do you think is the problem and why was my e-mail account blocked in the first place ?

    Who is your e-mail provider?

    Have you entered your full mobile number, including the country code? e.g. +44 7X XXXX XXXX

    Problem solved i now have another question for you . Why was my e-mail account blocked in the first place ? i have had this e-mail address for 5 -6 years and never had any problems why now ?

    Could it be that somebody was trying to hack in to my e-mails ?
  • I guess they were just trying to verify your email address was operated by a human and wasn't one created by bots.
