How would one go about getting the account reinstated? I replied to Alan who
originally sent that the account has been disabled but have been unable to

I'm sorry if traffic was suspicious but if it was from this - then it should
have stopped approximately two or three weeks ago. So I guess I'm not sure
why this was an issue right now - more than two weeks later?
