Account full notification? – Caution.

spam -EN

Have you received an email that your email account is full?

Does it say a threat, the email account would be deleted if you do not respond?

Be critical. Most of the time there is a virus or SPAM behind it:

Legitimate “account full” reminders never include an “email account will be deleted” threat.

We also send mails when your account managed by us is full, but never with a “click here” and a threat like “account shutdown”. – You can contact us normally via the normal support email address info@tba-berlin.de if you have any questions. However, please never click directly on a link or button in such an e-mail.
