Well it’s been a few weeks now and Google still has shown absolutely no interest in helping me with my problem. From what I can tell someone must have hacked into my gmail account and deleted both the email account and the Orkut account that was attached to it, thus taking over all the communities I owned on there.
To be honest, Orkut really is no loss at all, I really hated that place and the only reason I still went there was to manage the communities, so that’s a load off really. I don’t really like not having access to my email address though, it’s been my main address for a long time now and there was a lot of info in there that I needed.
When I first realized what happened I went through the proper channels, I sent an email via the help site from Google explaining what happened and they replied asking for more information. I sent the information they asked for and got another email asking for MORE information. One of the pieces of information they needed was the link from the original invitation email I got inviting me to gmail.
Originally I was invited to gmail and made my account with the wrong name, so I re-invited myself to create the email address that I wanted. I had the email from inviting myself but not the email in my hotmail account with the link I was given to create the account. So because I was missing that ONE piece of info from an email TWO YEARS AGO, even though I had everything else, they won’t help me. Not only will they not help me get my account back but they won’t even tell me anything about it. Assholes.
Anyway that’s the end of me and google. As much as I loved gmail I won’t touch it again with a ten foot pole, you know, once bitten twice shy.
Hey, had the same problem with my gmail account and also my adsense account. Their such a bunch of wankers, no help what so ever. Left high and dry by the biggest, most talked about site on the web.
Never again.
I’m loving the new site, too, but then you already know about my WordPress bias. :)
That Typekey thing on MT was driving me bananas.
I´ll send them right away! :)
Dunno about the english blog. Actually I haven´t blog in like an year or so. But who knows? I´ll be through some MAJOR changes in my life soon. Maybe that´ll be enough motivation for me to blog. ;)
Oh and I always read your blog. I wasn´t commenting cause I had some issues with the comment program, it wouldn´t let me comment, lol.
Cheers!
Hey Heloisa! Anything you can send me would be of great use I’m sure, the more info I can provide them the better! Can you please send it to Tammy AT Breigh DOT com? Thanks!!
Glad you like the new site, I like it a lot better as well :) You’ll have to let me know if you ever get an english blog!
Me again. I just did an email search and I found a message you sent me telling me you used one of your invitations to create another account. Might be helpfull if you are still interested in proving to Google that you had that account.
Anyway, let me know if you want me to forward those emails, ok? :)
Hey Tammy I´m sorry to hear that you had all this trouble with Google. If it is of any help I still have a copy of the email invitation to Gmail I´ve sent you and it has some info there like the date and time of invitation, etc.
Let me know if you want it and where I can send it to, ok?
Oh and I must say I like the new look of your blog.
Hope everything is alright with you, hubby and the pets.
Hugs,
Heloisa
