Email Frustrations!!!!

I found out someone had hacked into my email account.  I went in and changed my password.  I tried about an hour later to get into my email account and I couldn't!  I tried an hour later and same thing.  I called Time Warner and explained the situation to the first tech I spoke with.  Well to make a long story short, I ended up speaking to 8 techs!!!  This is just ridiculous that you have to get passed around to so many people.  The last tech said he could help me and he did.  Well with one catch!  I had to sign a form and have John sign it, fax it back to them and then get on a list for everything to be fixed which they said could take 3 or more days!!!  In this day an age isn't that just absurd!!  What is wrong with Time Warner??????  I am so frustrated with them right now that I am probably going to switch.  I want to retrieve my address book first and then I'm part ways with TW!

I think I will start using my gmail account instead of the carolina.rr account.  When I figure out what is going on, I'll let all of you know.

All I know is I'm one unhappy camper right now!!  Thanks for letting me vent!!

  1. TW and I parted ways a while back. Their service is horrible. I use my gmail now instead- xo Diana

  3. Diana, I can't find an address book on the gmail account. Am I looking in the wrong place?

  4. What the heck is going on right now? Somebody hacked into my son's account and got into his e-mail account. It sent me a link and without thinking, I opened it. Arrrghhhh.... I just wrote a post about it for tomorrow. I changed my password and had to clean scan my computer. Doggone it! Then today, I got ANOTHER one of those e-mails from a blogger friend. Something weird is going on.

  5. My e-mail account was hacked this morning too! Sent all my contacts something about a job. Changed the password and then opened a new account. I use yahoo and was able to transfer my entire contact list over to the new account. What a pain!

  6. If you get your email account hacked, you really should start keeping a check on your credit. This is often the beginning of the way into a credit scam.

  8. Not only yours, but a dozen other accounts that have been hacked and sending emails. Mostly people I know, but some names I don't recognize!

  9. I'm just now looking into setting up an email account... since we're moving (and my current email is via local internet/phone provider)... couldn't find an address book on gmail either. So I don't know yet with whom I will set up my account.
