its called phishing.\nAnother site pretended to be yours and just\ngot your username and password.\nI recommend being more careful on the exact website you are at. If you have important information delete it from that account and create a new one or change your password on the existing one which is probably the easiest

No, don't trust it. My suggestion is delete the email, and don't visit any links on it. Probably a hoax or a virus or something.

I think that's it.\nhttp://yahoo.weblogsinc.com/2005/09/14/review-new-yahoo-mail-beta/\nor\nhttp://advision.webevents.yahoo.com/scp/viewer/index.php?client_id=1173&event_id=16828

It's legitimate and I'm using it and find it very useful. The company's software is in the Beta stage and being made available as freeware now, but at some point they may charge for the service, probably for their commercial customers. You get current indications of green (good sites) and red (problem sites) that help you stay away from sites that are downloading junk onto your computer or phishing for your information to defraud you. However, siteadvisor tells you up front that information about the sites you visit is sometimes sent back to their computers to help build the data base they use to rate the sites. Their's a privacy statement you should read, and you can opt-out of some of the agreement options.\nhttp://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/yahoo.com

No need to worry,he's been reported to a few "watch dog" agencies.\n\nQuestion to Yahoo:What are you doing about predators in this forum?\n\nQuestion to Yahoo:Did you know you can track IP addresses and forever ban someone from Yahoo? DUH!!

Shouldn't work that way ..but does some times..I would contact Yahoo..I am sure they could help you out..I ran into the same problem..You didnt say you reported it as spam..if it is..you should..if there are threats involved..Yahoo can shut down the abusers account if warrented.

I've done 2 gb to yahoo but it stopped halfway through for security. error 999. Just break it up.

I think that is an excellent idea. Yahoo claims they are against spam mail but I find it interesting hos much of it they generate and allow to be passed along as they do

I've never had a problem with Y!A.  I behave myself.\n\nBesides, it's free, and it's not your site - it belongs to Yahoo! and as such they have every right to do whatever they want.

I have no idea what you are talking about, Yahoo and customer credibility? On what paid services? Can you be more specific?

Maybe its just me, but as soon as i set up my aim member directory profile i started getting loads of messages from strangers, not just a few it was all day long, mostly junk email kind of stuff, so i would recommend not to do that.\ni emptied the profile and removed my name from the member directory and it still took weeks for the junk to stop coming.\n\ngood luck\nTV

No, Yahoo! Answers is completely safe to use. The only things users can add are harmless jpegs from their 360 page or text. They cannot add any html, script or anything else.\n\nHowever, the links haven't all been checked by Yahoo! so if you're worried about viruses, stay on the main page and don't click on any of the links unless you're sure they do not have viruses.

Yahoo is secure when you send your password, so when you log in.  After it logs you in, a security warning pop up will appear (unless you have disabled it) saying you are switching from a secure to an unsecure website. \n\nThis is Normal.\n\nAfter logging you in, Yahoo Mail itself has unsecure and secure items on the site.  This pop-up warning is normal and you shouldn't work about it.

Someone else is using it then.  Change your password and secret question.\n(It's possible that you have multiple yahoo clients open that are conflicting but that would be my second thing to look at)

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.

I'd be apprehensive going to some "other" sites, especially one that mentions "Warez" and suchlike.\n\nWhy not go direct to YAHOO's site, or 1 of these other reputable ones: http://del.icio.us/Eagle_Kiwi/webbased
