If someone is sending messages to the group by using your email address, save one of the messages received with the full headers (explained in first link below) and then file an abuse report with Yahoo! (second link).

Yahoo messenger has one like that going around...all it takes is for one person to click on the link and it sends it to everyone on their friends list...it will also look like it came from you.\n\nThe best you can do is to warn your friends not to open any links from you until they askesd if you sent it first.

Is the group getting those mails ONLY from your ID ? If yes, and if you use Outlook Express to send/receive mails, then your system has been affected by a virus. If several of the ID's are sending such mails, then your group is affected, and it is not your fault (The group must be renamed, or deleted and re-created). I was caught in a similar situation sometime ago, but later several members started sending such mails, then we discovered that the group was affected (perhaps someone hacked it)..Then our mod renamed the group, now we do not have problems. See this site for details. This was the virus that affected our group : http://www.cert-in.org.in/virus/nyxem_e-worm.htm

They probably search for those words. Since you have them in your profile, you come up in their search. Maybe you should say something more like, "Senders of inappropriate messages will be prosecuted for harassment, public indecency, and public use of obscenities." You probably can't actually do anything to anyone, but it might discourage some people.

What is the Slogan?. If your yahoo IM client has been hacked by a adware you may need to use an ad cleaner like\n\nAd Aware : http://www.lavasoft.com\n\nTry re-installing yahoo.\n\nIt could be a service message too.

if you don't know who it is sending you the im/emails don't be curious and answer or open them delete them or click on ignore.you can also run a virus scan on them before you answer or open them.my suggestion is to just delete unfamilier im/emails. good luck.   pete

There is no way to do that. A sent message is already sent. You can only send a following message to the same group saying that the earlier was a wrong message and this is the right one and then your message listed below it.

avoid responding many of forward mails such as \n"in 5 minutes send it 20 people" they are getting ur adress in that way so u are getting involved in spam mails.

If you are getting threating emails from a yahoo provider and have proof, you can go to http://add.yahoo.com/fast/help/us/mail/cgi_abuse and fill out the information.  Then Yahoo will act accordenly.\n\nHope this helps.

Ask all your organizations to do it----many will. I will email the ones on my list today .There are many chapters throughout the states. Let them know. If you can't do it tell them to put your name on a list and keep sending even a dollar when you can to support them. It has already shown it is helping.\n\nAnd already many have.\n\nI think I know who is impersonating you-I will be watching them. Yahoo does have a base email and you can demand from this reason-impersonation-that be bared permanently. I will watch and I will report this one-although I usually don't-but enough is enough.

Perhaps you have the W32/Sohanad.I Worm?\nInformation and removal procedure is here:\nhttp://www.pspl.com/virus_info/worms/sohanadi.htm\n\nAnd tell all your friends to NOT click on the link that the virus is sending them, they could become infected also. \n\nAny links received in an off-line Instant message should never be clicked-on, even if it says it is from a person you know. That is how these messenger viruses spread!\n\nGood luck.

It's called a small time hacker that figured out the Yahoo chat workings. Report it to Yahoo is all you can do.

Did you get a message that was forwarded via Yahoo Messenger that said something to that affect?  These are a popular form of a hoax 'If you do not send this to everyone in your contact list, your account will be terminated'  These also come out in the form of e-mails.  Don't fall for them, Yahoo is a major company, they would not resort to these methods to inform their customers of upcoming changes.
