One of our WA members asked me a week ago to like him on his Twitter Page. When I tried to register with Twitter I was shocked to find out that someone was already using my e-mail address. AND the account was deactivated for spam or possibly worse. Well I managed to get the account reactivated and reset the password. Now they can't seem to get my cell phone number verified. They have sent me rk4 different codes and none work. PLUS the user name still shows up as @JeannaMclin Of course there is no telephone number for a person and they can't answer individual inquiries. Your thoughts please.

Thank you Loes. I will try that because the issue still remains. My correct e-mail address with the wrong name.

I tried that page, but their support team never resolved the issue. They were even sending me "follow suggestions" in the native language of Malaysia. I registered again with a different e-mail address and now I am Twitterized. @RDoren3 Thanks for your encouragement.

Yes. It's hard to get assistance from them.

If you don't get an answer from twitter, you should just create a brand new account with a new email (get a gmail account for it). It's hard to get help from social media platforms otherwise.

Good idea. I already have a g mail account. I have one other thing to try that Loes suggested. If that doesn't remedy the situation I will try your suggestion.

Well littlemama I took your advice and registered with Twitter using another e-mail address. Worked like a charm. Now I am Twitterized! I don't know why, but their support did not resolve the problem. They were sending me "follow" suggestions in the native language of Malaysia. And they were referring to me as @JeannaMclin. Who knows! Many thanks.

Unfortunately, they don't respond really, the follow suggestions are always there for new accounts. I'm glad you have a new account now and ready to go! :)

Contact the Twitter help desk as this appears to have evolved to their internal workings.

I have tried this and I will keep trying. For some reason they have not been able to resolve this. My concern is someone posting things and having it followed back to my address. I'm sure you have guessed that already. Strange; but the creeps are out there! I never even used Twitter until I tried to register.

No resolution, but a way around the problem. Twitter support never resolved the problem, but I registered with another e-mail address and now I am Twitterized. Thanks for your concern. @RDoren3

I'll keep you posted. The celebs use Twitter and who knows what that person has been tweeting. I never had a message from Twitter to my e-mail. Puzzled.

I registered with another e-mail address and that worked. I don't know why, but their support team just could not solve this problem of a wrong name with my e-mail address. I was even getting "follow suggestions" from them in the native language of Malaysia. Referring to me as @JeannaMclin! Who knows?
