    What a mess @wiseowl, perhaps they should be locked up in Newgate, if only it still existed. :biggrin:

      Oh crikey Woo, I just read this and cracked up - have belly ache, and the dogs are wondering about the strange cackling noise - which they are totally unaccustomed to approaching midnight on a weekday. :roflol:

                        Well, that's *something* at least.

                        :scratch: Why not?

                        :Think:

                        So why then did they ...

                          I had a problem with my emails and decided to try and resolve it by Live Chat (by internet). It turned out to be just as useless and frustrating as the Chat I had with them two months ago. I have put in a complaint.

                          This is the transcript (slightly edited) of our 'Chat'.

                          Tanika: Hello I’m Tanika, thank you for chatting with BT. I’m reading your enquiry, please give me a few moments I’ll be back soon.

                          I may need to ask you for some further details, if you would like to use this time to grab the account number, the account holders full name, address and postcode that would be really helpful.


                          Tanika: Hi

                          Me: Hi

                          Tanika: If I'm not wrong you are unable to access in your e-mail address.

                          Me: You are wrong!

                          Tanika: Okay, then please explain me your concern.

                          Me: I have a main account and two sub accounts. They are all downloading to Outlook OK but about two hours ago the emails on the main account had started downloading the same emails again and again. The sub accounts are OK - but I have shut down Outlook at the moment as I don't want it to download hundreds of emails - which it was doing.

                          Tanika: Please remove your e-mail account and add back it again.

                          Me: What do you mean?

                          Tanika: Delete your e-mail account and add back it again.

                          Me: How do I do that?

                          Tanika: Please wait.

                          Tanika: Please go to this link: How to add or remove an email account

                          Me: How will removing and replacing my account solve the problem? Will it definitely solve it? Doesn't seem logical at the moment.

                          Tanika: When you will remove and add back it again then you will get your all e-mails.

                          Me: I'm already getting my emails!!!! The problem is that I keep getting the same emails many times.

                          Tanika: Okay, then you need to e-mail on this e-mail address: BT | Using the power of communication to make a better world

                          Me: And do what?

                          Tanika: You need to e-mail on the above e-mail address that you are getting same e-mails again and again and they will resolve it.

                          Me: I don't see why it is a matter for 'phishing'. The emails that I am getting repeatedly are my correct ones, not phishing, but BT are downloading them again and again. When an email has been downloaded to Outlook, BT should automatically be marking it as sent to my client server. Therefore it should not be sending it again and again.

                          Tanika: Because that team working on these types of concern.

                          Me: So I email them and tell them that you have sent me to them. Is that correct?

                          Tanika: Yes.

                          Tanika: and the issue which you are facing in your e-mail account.

                          Me: I shall copy this conversation to them.

                          Tanika: I can send you a transcript. (Me - thoughts - Some Hopes!!! :th scifD36: :whistle:)

                          Me: Thank you. (I didn't trust her, quite correctly, and copied my own transcript ;) :blue thumb:)

                          I happen to have the direct email of one of the senior team of 'phishing and abuse' so sent it to him. I explained that I didn't think it was his province but a simple technical problem but would leave it to him. An hour later it was back to normal. I deleted all the 335 unwanted copies. :phew:

                            Have you thought Woo, your time might be better spent diddling about in the garden :huh:
                            Travis Perkins have always been pretty good - I have an account there. If I tell them that Wicks has something cheaper, they adjust the bill.

                            The other day my mate was having a laugh with google...''will you marry me?'' she asked ...the reply was ''maybe we could just be good friends'' :loll:

                            Don`t think I`ll bother with Tanika either Shiners... enough to drive you to :Wino:
