ever since I made a yahoo account

Post by EggbornHatchedrotten »

So I made a yahoo email account to answer a craigslist ad. I didn't want to give my name out.

Not sure if the two are related, but ever since then my hotmail has been spamming me from me.

It's not coming from my email. I did several virus checks, changed passwords, made it so I have to sign in with a secondary account(getting a code) even if I give my new password. I checked all of info, vacation etc. Nothing was changed.

I read on yahoo's site (nothing about this on hotmail, but hey all is free, what can one do? They don't care.)

I found a site called, Whois-RWS. You can search an ips address on it.

OK, so I did it with two different emails that were "sent from me." I have NO idea what to do with this information.

One has an Idaho address, and one has a Boston address. OK? and? yahoo site suggested that I contact their internet service provider. What like I write the address a letter that I found? um.

If anyone feels that they can or want to help me out with this please PM me.

is it like this?


someone @somedomain.com <myemail>

where "someone@somedomain.com" is someone I don't know, but "myemail@hotmail.com" is, in fact, my email address. It as if the email was sent by me, but I did not send it?

Then check here:
