Same stuff just a new address or something. You get me? Any way I can prevent these from coming and still use the account? Hmmm...

Resolved Question: Why did I get another email from an address that I added to my blocked list?

The email initially appeared in the inbox. I immediately spammed it. I never opened the email because I've been getting what look like scam emails.

Now there's the same exact email (same sender name, same email address), this time in my spam box. Again, I'm not opening it. Someone else suggested setting up a 'junk email' account and have a lil fun with the idiot! lol But I really want to know how the same email got through. more

Voting Question: World of Warcraft Password Recovery?

Hey, my world of warcraft account was compromised a while ago, but i went to the WoW website and did the change password option, but since Yahoo blocks the emails from Blizzard I never got the email telling my what my new password was, so it was changed so the hacker doesnt know it anymore, but neither do I. I've gotten the email sent multiple times, but I never recieve them,not even in bulk or spam. I've followed the Blizzard instructions how to get Yahoo to stop blocking their emails, but I still don't receive any emails. I've also tried faxing in an account recovery form multiple times, but I haven't gotten any reply. Is there any way to convince yahoo to stop blocking blizzard emails? Edit: ive called them before and i just added them to my contacts list and disable all my spam filters and still nothin. and the thing why i cant call is because when i made the account i made the extreme mistake of typing something like this"asdhf76" for my name, and of course i dont remember exactly what i typed in. and so they wont help me at all on the phone, they just say that they have to talk to the registered account holder. ive sent the forms in to change the name and that doesnt work either. and so i cant call them and even after i add them to my contacts, disabled all my spam filters and sent the password recovery email multiple times and it still wont come through. any other suggestions? thanks more
