Just log onto the website and block the domain. Hell, you can choose not to receive any messages sent via e-mail.

they said that they are working on it and they got an email this morning at 7:45 (who knows what time zone as I was talking to India I believe) that said they are basically done with it, but then the woman said she has gotten calls of peopel getting up to 400 notifications a day.

then she said she would block the places i got them from for my phone(like they are going to use the same address)

basically if it keeps happening im gonna use this to try and get out of my contract (which im doing anyway)

Your tech support was actually foreign? Huh. I was talking to tech support like two weeks ago on a few occasions and the techs were all caucasian females; at least that's what they sounded like.

Just block the domain. Problem solved. I would guess <1% of people actually use e-mail to cell phone.

yeah every letter I said for the email address she thought was a different letter so i needed to use a word for each and of course for "I" she asked "I for India?"

they dont come from the same places, for example the last 2 i got were yahoo and netzero accounts
