Suspicious activity Can't send e-mail. When will this end?
"Suspicious activity" is a problem with the new version of Yahoo Mail, not with people like me and so many others that are being prevented from sending emails. Yahoo Customer Services do not reply to complaints about this simply because they obviously get such a very large number. If they don't employ a competent computer programmer themselves, we can only hope they seek advice from a suitable outside firm. I recently had an email from a computer "boffin" who said he might be able to help, but would charge £11 for his services! I doubt whether he could solve the problem and in any case see no reason why I should pay for Yahoo's blunders. Let's hope Yahoo do something about this pretty soon - or many of us may have no option but to go elsewhere. Roy Pennison roypennison@yahoo.co.uk

Suspicious Activity in Yahoo! Mail?
First of all: a system restore won't help at all since Yahoo mail is a web based service! About your problem: Usually YA issues this message when your e-mail account may have been hijacked and used for spamming. To find the spamming source and to make sure that it isn't you causing this, Yahoo has to temporarily shut down your mail account. During the suspension, you have access to all email in your inbox, personal folders and sent folder, and to your mail options. You will not be able to send or receive mail or save any drafts. Email sent to your account will bounce back to the sender. Other probable causes #1: Somebody may have tried to enter your account without being authorized, and he may have tried to do so a couple of times. After a couple of failed attempts to open your mail account, Yahoo also temporarily shuts it down for security measures. In some cases a user may not even try to get into your account, but he may want to cause trouble for you - he just knows that after a couple of seemingly unauthorized attempts to enter your account, Yahoo shuts it down for a couple of days. Often an automated program is used for this which can send more than 1000 requests a minute. The Yahoo servers detect that a human can't be behind such attempts and presto, the account is shut down. What you can do is go to: http://login.yahoo.com/config/login . After your first try you'll probably get a failure message, but when you try again, you'll see a captcha link. Only real life people could handle this correctly, spambots can't read it. If you are lucky, you may be able to enter your account at this point. #2: If you send large amounts of mail, even if it is for non-profit organizations, Yahoo may close your account temporarely because their program can't tell the difference between a supposed spammer and a real one. Summary: if the login hack doesn't work, wait a little, a suspension usually lasts about 48 hrs. If you then still can't get in, go to this online help form and describe your problem: http://help.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/... You could also send a mail to e-mail support: mail@cc.yahoo-inc.com or mail-classic-errors@cc.yahoo-inc.com or call Yahoo! Customer Service: 1-408-349-1572
Why am i getting- "Suspicious activity has been detected on your account."?
I can't get my email to send any message that contains a link I put in. This is so annoying. Especially since I am trying to send a reply with a link to show that the original email is an urban legend, and advising them not to send it on to anyone else. There is no explanation, other than that below, that Suspicious activity has been detected on my account, and it won't send the message, even after I filled out the annoying little crooked and nearly unreadable letters to prove I am not a bot. I commend Yahoo for trying to fight spammers- but I have been a user for, what, 10 years or more? I think I have enough of a track record not to get flagged as a spammer! This is ridiculous. What good is email that you can't use to send messages? --------------Full message below----------------- Your message was not sent Suspicious activity has been detected on your account.

Error message when replying to or sending an email?
Yahoo and IE seem to be incompatible right now at medium to high cookie settings. You may access Yahoo Mail with a different browser, such as Firefox. Just type yahoo.mail.com in the address bar. I am able to get through with Firefox, and I hope you can too. Or, you can set your cookies at the lowest possible setting, and that should work too. It pisses me off to have to do this, but at least it will help you get your emails if you are browsing with Internet Explorer. You can always reset your cookies after accessing your email.
Suspicious activity has been detected on your account.?
I have been getting this problem for the past 2 weeks. Every day it blocks me from sending emails, I change my password and it works for a few hours. The next day it happens again. I am getting totally fed up with yahoo as they do not help in any way - all you get is the standard response to reset your password. What they dont understand is that there is an issue for it to keep occuring! Im changing to another provider as this is frustrating!
Will a reply to a suspicious email get my account hacked?
If you do reply to it it can get a lot more things done than just “hacking” your account. You can lose a lot of your personal information and everything that goes with that. Here are some useful tips on how to avoid that and how to recognize fraud emails.1. If you didn’t request it, don’t click it!This is the golden rule. If you didn’t request something from a person or company, there’s no reason for them to email you instructions or, worse, attached files. So unless you’ve specifically asked your bank for information, you shouldn’t expect a “bank manager” to be contacting you.2. Suspicious email? Look for the text on Google.Mails related to scams and malware tend to use the same texts, sometimes with tiny changes. Keep an eye out for:Nonsensical phrases, bad spelling and strange words stemming from automatic translations – like “With due respect to your person and much sincerity of purpose I make this contact mail with you”Badly-placed or low-quality images.No personal references: these emails don’t usually address you by name (Dear Beneficiary)A sense of urgency. These emails are always alarmist, appealing to your most basic sense – fear. The often mention terrible consequences, fines and charges.Copy and paste the email into a search engine and take a good look at the results. It will be clear if the words come from a well-known scam.For more tips and info on this topic go here - How to recognize suspicious emails
My WhatsApp is sending random messages to people. They're not just random, they're actual messages. I think my account is hacked. How do I stop it?
Thanks for the A2AFirst of all, sorry for the occurrence. I do hope that those random messages have not impacted on you negatively.Now let’s get down to business.Recently, WhatsApp included a new feature called WhatsApp Web. It a PC based extension in which you can access you Phone WhatsApp account directly using your computer. The chats are fully synced between both the phone and the computer. Additionally, you can view, delete or send messages using either the computer or the phone. Whichever action that is done on one is immediately synced to the other.Using the Feature is easy. You just open WhatsApp on your Computer’s browser. Then Click WhatsApp Web. After that, go back to your phone. Under settings, the 3rd Option is WhatsApp web. Click it then scan the QR code displayed on your computer. That way, you can now received or send messages using either of them.I do suspect that is what happened in your case. Someone accessed you phone, selected the WhatsApp Web on your Phone’s WhatsApp account and synced it with their individual computer. Thus, the person is able to send messages and view/delete all your WhatsApp texts using his/her computer.However, it is easy to log out the person and prevent him/her from accessing your account. In your Phone’s WhatsApp account, go to WhatsApp Web. When you select it, you will be shown the device which has connected to your whatsapp. Click on the “Log out from add devices” option. And Cheers! You are done! No more being spied.Hope that helps.
How can I keep email deliverability high when sending cold emails in bulk?
Follow good email best practices. These include a good opt-in process, sending good email content at a consistent rate, and at the frequency you said you would. Find and use a good, reputable email service provider (ESP). For these providers to stay in business, they must, must, must keep a good email reputation or their customers will take their business elsewhere, so these ESPs are fiercely protective of their email reputation so they get maximum email deliverability. Simply choosing a good ESP can take care of many of the best email practices for you such as unsubscribe links, stopping hard bounce sends, and feedback loops and excellent features for stats, analytics, open and click tracking, as well as email automation. Some good ESPs include ActiveCampaign, AWeber, Campaign Monitor, ConstantContact, ConvertKit, Drip, HubSpot, Infusionsoft, MailChimp, Ontraport, and so on. The next thing you want to do is use an email validation service. Definitely don't send any email campaigns without doing this step.Using an email validation service will remove any invalid emails from your email database and can dramatically improve email reputation and deliverability. The problem with most email validation services is you have to constantly remember to use them and they require a lot of manual import and exporting and waiting around. Unhappy with existing solutions, I built a tool called mailfloss that handles email verification for you automatically. The premise is simple. All you need to have is a supported ESP. With that, you simply complete a one-time, 60 second setup that requires zero technical knowledge. Connect your ESP, set your preferences, and that's it. From that point forward mailfloss handles the rest. Any new emails coming in from web forms into the ESP are automatically validated by mailfloss. It supports many of the most popular ESPs on the market, with more on the way.
