Under what circumstances will Yahoo reveal the true identity of someone posting a personals ad?

They can't reveal it, because the spouse could sue, and Yahoo! does NOT want that!

You can't tell who are for real and who isn't.  The best thing for you to do, is find someone who isn't advertising it big time. They are most likely for real.

In the yahoo abuse form when you report someone there is impersonation, that is what you are looking for.  Good luck!

You can send an instant message or email to that person and see if they respond. Otherwise, there's no way of knowing. Yahoo! will not give out information about you to anyone who inquires with your screen name.

Short answer - No, probably not.\n\nLong answer - Maybe. Search for that person's name on the Internet. Maybe he/she has created a profile on some site like Blogger, or hi5, or MySpace, whatever. Also, Yahoo! Public profiles, or Yahoo! Member Search, ot Yahoo! People Search may have that information IF, and it's a very big IF, the person has actually taken the pain to create a profile there.

Don't think so!!??. \nHowever, if you know the yahoo id or name of the person, then go to "yahoo personals", then do a search.\n\nmuni

that's theoretically impossible. unfortunately, even if the person you're looking for registered with their real name and city (which doesn't always happen) i believe email providers are not allowed by law to give out their customers' information.

Ignore the first answer. That guy has been on here for days, changing his ID, to promote his marketing scam.

Check their profile in yahoo, some of them are honest and they do post correct BOD in the profile

You assume that someone used their real name when they joined Yahoo.  \n\nAlso, since people can use computers at libraries, friends' houses, work, and a host of other places, it may be very likely that you cannot determine who a Yahoo user is.
