Yahoo’s “Unusual Activity Detected” Reported by Jack Ferm



Yahoo’s “Unusual Activity Detected” Reported by Jack Ferm

Why is yahoo so archaic in their internet browsing capabilities, that when you receive an email your access is blocked for up to 48 hours isn’t that the reason to have a yahoo email account? To send and receive emails?
Yahoo is without doubt the worst email account to hold, often down and in need of a complete overhauling. Yet it has the easiest format and is user friendly, but only when it is working… which is perhaps 2 out of 7 days in any given week.
I suppose if you don’t use email Yahoo would be a good email provider!
My own experience with Yahoo has been anything but satisfactory. Try to find a phone number to complain to or a tech to help with your problems is like searching for a hair pin in the pacific ocean. They are practically non existent; no they are in fact non existent.
However there is a tech support team out of India that for a charge will attempt to assist Yahoo users. The only draw back is the language barrier; their English is so broken it’s like attempting to communicate with a frog.
On second thought communication with a frog might be easier.
What I receive after only one email is: Unusual Activity Detected, To protect you, your account has been suspended from sending, saving, and receiving mail for up to 48 hours
So Yahoo users like me are limited to use yahoo one time a day.
I ask, how is Yahoo protecting me by denying me access to my own email?
Yahoo We love you, we just don’t like your lack of professionalism!
