Is there anyone out there who could explain something for me , please ? On Saturday I discovered 49 mailer daemon failure notices in my inbox. I contacted BT Yahoo and we spent a morning changing my password (several times), resetting the security question, doing a complete virus etc scan on my pc and then my account was supposed to be blocked for 24hrs so I couldn't send any emails. I was rather upset, Sunday morning, to discover another 5 failure messages awaiting me. So again, another morning spent on discussions with the sub continent. Again we went through the same procedures ... and hoorah, this morning , no failure notices when I logged on... but I shall still worry tomorrow morning as the messages were all sent between midnight and 2am UK time.
My question is this. Why would anyone want to use my email address to send emails to different non addresses so that they came back as failed ? What is the person getting by doing this ? Should I be even more alarmed please ?
I have spoken with my bank, credit cards etc but is there anything else I should do ?
Thank you.
