Can you say Scam?

I was about to play on Gail's Wildflower Wednsday team.  However, when I went to load up my photos here's the message I got again....:

Whoops! You're out of space. You are currently using 100% of your 1 GB quota for photos. Upgrade storage

Photos are stored in your Picasa Web Albums account and are included in your 1 GB free quota for photos. Additional storage you purchase is shared between several Google products and is in addition to your free quota. Learn more

So, when I went to learn more - well lookie here, I'm only using 11% of my total 1G.  Normally I'd be wound enough to start to look for the Prime Minister's phone number.  (I generally don't get further than just looking).  If I Google this problem, it's very odd, only bad WordPress issues come up.....No one in the Blogger/Google community has posted a suggestion when I asked what to do.  Oddly enough I was able to post Marion Jarvie's photos yesterday?  I know it's not a lot of money - but that's not the point, if you advertise/state that something is free, don't you have to honour it?  Or are there other rules on the Web?
