Gmail representative! Hello?

fmnewbee · 1 Sep 2004, 01:29 AM

I got my account at a time when I was in a learning phase.

So I choosed the wrong handle. I got 6 invites or what the proper name is.

Now I don't know 6 people to give them to and to give them to total stranges seems not to be responsible either.

So how about a compromise.
could I end or delete or deactivate the username I hav now and keep 1 of the 6 invires for me to start a new accont with better username. The one I have now get Spam Asassine to cry out this is a probable spam due to me having too many mixed up q1w2e3r4t5y6u7i8 like that very mixed up chars.

Me chosing this crazy email username for Gmail while me in the learnign pahse on how to make as username that spammers wont fidn out by doing dict attacks.

So it seems crazy to get 6 new accounts while I have no way to get me a proper name on Gmail?

Could you send a pm to me and prove you a representative and I trade in the 6 invites and you help me end the bad username adn I could tell you something that would work better.

Would be much appreciated.

The six links can be cut and pasted out and used, without giving out your email address.... you could send them form an account you create totally for this purpose...

ie: set up a free account like a yahoo, and then just cut and paste the link for from there instead of forwarding the entire mail!
I told you I would be happy to do that for you, and I will certainly not divulge your address or your username.

alternatively, send it to a dummy e-mail address (such as invitations-at-invitations-dot-zz) and the e-mail will bounce back and you can copy the links either from copies saved in your 'sent' folder or from the bounced messages.

then you can simply post here and remove the links in about 24hrs which is time by when all who wanted the account manage to active it. (in fact, when I did it, the invitations were taken in about 6hrs).

Just so you know, there aren't any Gmail representatives on this forum (at least, none that have identified themselves publicly).

fmnewbee · 1 Sep 2004, 06:29 AM

24 hours to respond. Ok I try to find my relative and some otehrs or I give all of them to Susan and you could spread them out to others in the forum.

I get back within couple of days most likely.

Or you can just email the invites to yourself. Just to get the url link.

Once the person opens an account from an invitation link, whether it'd be from a dummy account, website link, or other, the inviter's Gmail address is automatically added to the invitee's contact list (and vice versa).

Before you delete your account, make sure you use all your invites there.

Both are good ways.
You don't have to worry the system generated invites mail
being bounced back or filtered as spam by forward the url link instead.

The picked url links for signup are kinda "nude G eggs" .
