I registered a domain name with yahoo two years ago and never used it. The renewal on the name came up yesterday, which I found oit becaue i noticed the 35.00 charge on my bank account. I immediately canceled the account and called yahoo. They informed me that they could not refund the money for the year's service even though it was just one day into it.
They said there was "nothing they could do" for me.
I will never ever register a domain name with them.

Yahoo has taken the liberty of sticking an instant messaging chat room into our e-mails, which we didn't ask for. The chat room can't be turned off, nor can it be deactivated using Yahoo's "Mail Options". We would all appreciate Yahoo contacting us in the future to ask us if we really want these stupid features!

I wrote off the fact that no matter what computer I'm using it now takes Yahoo three (3) minutes to download all the ads before you can use the service. I've gotten past the fact that if I'm trying to read conversational e-mails I have to read backwards from the bottom of my incoming list. (Who's Oh so brilliant idea was it to ensure you can no longer read your mail from newest DOWN?)=A0 But, last night enraged me to the point that I am about to delete both my personal and business accounts which I've had since Yahoo started. I signed in to my business account and three minutes into checking my e-mail it popped up saying I had to sign in again, and again three minutes later and three minutes later and three minutes later and...Get the point? Then I tried my personal account, same thing, except when the prompt came up it had my BUSINESS account name in the user name field. An account I had signed out of was still popping up as active. I signed on this morning hoping that things had improved. Oh, they have, if you consider being prompted four (4) times in sixty (60) seconds to sign in again for my own safety is an improvement. NO ONE NEEDS THAT MUCH SAFETY TO CHECK THEIR BLEEDING E MAIL. BTW, this missive took me over ten minutes to write because it interrupted me ten (10) times to PLEASE SIGN IN AGAIN FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION.

I AM THE ONE RECENTLY GOT AN E-MAIL FROM YAHOO/MSN that Iam the WINNER of the month: SEPTEMBER 2010.

HIS NAME IS MR ROBERT SHERWOOD is an CHIEF COORDINATOR at YAHOO.
On that thime, I am very surprise and feel good when receiving. After that we have been processed in order to transfer the money from TRUST INTERNATIONAL PCL. (MR. FERGUSON WOFT) ferguson_remittancedepartment@gala.net (I confuse that why did he use gala.net which it should be in trustbank account/ or trustbank.com) in UK to my domicile ON LINE account in THAILAND.

The last process was COT Code to input in on line account. He gave an e-mail to contact person who in charge of this function (MRS LISA) who will be released code to me. On that time is the 13rd Octotber 2010. My deadline for processing is 10 working days starting from 3rd October 2010; Notice date.

But from the 13rd October 2010 they stopped to infrom the CODE to me. Mr Robert contacted me again on 15 October 2010 infromed me that to contact Mrs Lisa for COT code which I have already contact her on the 13 October 2010 but She was not response me between 13-15. She was nothing on her mail.

I WOULD TO INFORM YOU THAT YAHOO/MSN LOTTERY IS ALAWAYS FAKE. THEY JUST WANT TO PROMOTE ONLY. THAT IS MARKETING POLICY. I WILL STOP TO USE YAHOO AND MSN SOON.

I am 60 yrs old never used a computer until 4-5 yrs ago so I am computer ignorant! everytime I do something I ask someone how to!
I hooked up with yahoo in 2006 I think under name Pearl Bailey for gram and oldspry used password 192976 for ma 1929 when she was born and 76 the age she died. You keep asking me what is my favorite candy bar only one in life I have enjoyed is Reese's I put it in boom you lock me out of my computer for 2 wks now try again boom locked out again took the darn thing in to see if it was a virus and cleaned its ok but no yahoo WHY I do not need to be tortured and stressed into a dam heart attack just for you! I am sick of it aol does not do that to people why do you? are you sick?"? I just want to play poker and read my emails that is it! I am too old to learn any tricks yes I want to use the messenger to but no luck with yahoo. Honest tonight I sat and cried for over an hour because I can not use my computer! If I had to deal only with yahoo I would take this thing and throw it in the garbage so fast you could not blink your eyes! Because I don't want to have a stroke or heart attack trying to figure out how to or anything else it is a royal hemeroid dealing with you! wish you would turn on my site or call me [protected] if you have any type of decent feelings if your all hard nose like the site forget it guess I just lost my friends!

Like all others, i too bought two games and agreed to the terms of Yahoo and oberon.
First month i bought
Boggle a word game
and second month
i bought
Scrabble
I thought that i need to pay only if i buy. I didnt buy anything after that.
But i noticed in my credit card bill that i have been billed as subscription. I have not bought anything and i am being billed for it as subscription. The website is not clear.
iT is obvious that the wordings make one believe that you are buying and paying for one game or two games.
ONe also believes that like in all offline models of purchase, if you dont buy - you dont pay.
Here it is a scam
AVOID Yahoo !
They are partners in cheating !
with oberon.

They increase their domain price to $34 without giving any advance notice. SUCKKKKKK! Don't be a victim of their low price for the first year. They will kill you the next year with the increase price without notice in advance. They don't want to refund the money also when I call within 1 month period that they renew without my knowledge.

I have been using Y!A for a long time. On many occasions they delete asker's question ONLY due to the its administration's liberal profile. They delete a lot of questions with a critic of Mr.Obama or his wife. A lot of users raised this question: Why their question was deleted?

Today was peak of my frustration: a) Y!A never gave me a chance to answer a question about Mr.Obama (I was kicked out while trying to answer), b) the original question was deleted right in front of my eyes as it criticized Mr. Obama.

These biased practices toward the loyal users are really disgusting and unacceptable. The Y!A administration must not be baised and delete questions or comments of the people strictly due to the asker's criticizing the opponents..

The Yahoo/Msn & Microsoft Windows lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers. As a result of this, this friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the cancelling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.

This office will not be responsible for any outstanding fees. Services rendered by SPEEDAGE EXPRESS DELIVERY SERVICE are to be paid by you and not the lottery board, for the fact that the lottery organisers didn't make any provision for any upcoming expenses, regarding delivery of parcel or any such.And also if you are not going to make the delivery charges, you dont have to contact the Speedage Express Courier Services and there is no deduction from your winning amount, and no payment on the time of delivery all outstanding fees must be made to them before your parcel can be release and deliver to your nominated home address, .

Due to our past experience, after helping the lottery winner and delivered there consignment to them they will run away, so the management now put a stop on that, so you have to follow up with the instruction of the delivery services.

please locate the IP addresses of units logging into my accounts. They are using my email accounts and myspace accounts to locate family and friends and to harrase them, lure them, beat, rape, steal and kidnap them. I know they are logging in to harrase them. They have even sent email Threats to another country (mexico) and I want it stopped. I no longer have a computer and have not had for years, I only access my account once a month from a city library and as of today will not access any longer. those accounts are 1( tawttwthw@yahoo.com 2) tawttwthw@live.com 3) tawttwthw@hotmail.com and 4) tawttwthw@myspace.com which uses those same accounts. Please contact me after you have researched and I will file charges ( at [protected]) thank yoiu Teresa Ann Williams

I was having so many problems with Yahoo that I decided to go with another provider. But for a month now, I have been trying to cancel my account so that all the crappy SPAM that is spilling into my Yahoo account isn't clogging my computer. I try to sign in and I can see loads of SPAM mail for about five seconds and then the screen changes to a message that says there is a screen resolution problem. I am aware of this problem. There is no fix for it because it's an old old computer. I have had it with these people. They have made me change my password three times in one year and they automatically switched me to their "new" Yahoo when I specifically asked to stay with the old version. You cannot reach them by phone and they do not respond to snail mail. I would have to drive sixty miles and visit the company in person. I just want to cancel the account, PERIOD! They are a joke.

I had booked a hotel through Yahoo Travel and needed to cancel so I called the customer service number from my Yahoo travel confirmation. After being on hold for 1 hour and 2 minutes listening to the recording telling me an agent will be with me shortly, I hung up. The next day I called again, was only on hold for 7 minutes, but then was told by the agent that the computer system was being upgraded and I would need to call back in 2 or 3 hours. This was 10:30 a.m. CST on a Tuesday - what are you doing "upgrading" your system at that time? Anyway, I called back after 3 hours, was on hold for 6 minutes and then was hung up on. Finally, on the fourth try, I actually was helped by someone. This is the last time I'm using Yahoo Travel for anything.

Ever since Yahoo! Mail has updated their mail viewing, I can't download any pictures off of an email that I receive. If I try to right click and save image as, it saves as this download that comes out in a separate tab and all code. This is getting very annoying, seeing as I used to be able to just click the link of the picture, click OK, and I could save the picture to my computer no problem. The worst part is, is that it is virtually impossible to switch over to Yahoo! Classic. This is all changed and more inconvenient than the past updates. I'm switching over to HotMail to see if anything is better. Sorry Yahoo!, but you seriously suck.

I recently reactivated a deleted yahoo account after almost three years. I did not intend to and yahoo states that this is not possible.

I simply selected my old username when opening a ‘new’ account. The first mail I received was ‘welcome to yahoo’ immediately I began receiving mail from my old subscriptions. The mail I received included links to my social media accounts and made available information I had used to subscribe to mailing lists.

The account was deleted because it had been compromised and customer support did not help then. It is still sending spam to itself, but deleting it again is clearly very unsafe, as obviously any ‘new’ customer can reactivate it.

Customer support steadfastly refuses to respond to this

I have been a victim of a scam, i followed a link from the yahoo website therefor bypassing all the warning messages on the internet, thanx yahoo! I stupidly signed up for a free trial of aciapure and life cleanse. The information was not plain to see about the 15 day trial period let alone any mention of the £69. 95 / £75. 08 if not cancelled within 15 days. I foolishly signed up thinking that there was no harm in trying out a product before commiting, i read all the information looked at all the attached clips, then due to the timer i signed up unaware that i had been duped. My orders arrived without any attached information nothing to give me any warning of the finacial loss that was about to happen. Upon getting stung i called [protected] the number for logandissoulutions (Acaipure) who had taken the money from my account. I became aware of the scam, they have cancelled future orders but have still kept the money they scammed from my account, life cleanse had a company by the name of age health debt my account i called them on [protected] only to be told that there would be no refund he did cancell future orders but i am not sure after reading the other articles on these scams if this means the end of the thefts from my account, so i have cancelled my card and informed the bank. Brad from age health was unable to pass me on to anyone else in his company, there wasn't even a manager " i hope you are happy in your job" is all i could say to him. I am planning to dipute the amounts debeted from my account through my bank the co - opertive wish me luck.
