Yahoo! a bogus university.

Dear sirs

Two years back I have received a mail from yahoo that we can complete the mba in one year's time.

I am a post graduate (m.com.,) and my certificate all ready attested.

For a extra qualification I am trying for mba qualification on line.

They said no need for one year you are a post graduate and we will send you mba certificate with attestation. many people called me as a president and professor like and committed and paid usd 800/-.
They sent some bogus certificate and after that they are calling me and asking me to attest mba certificates I said not required. last two years they tried to black mail me we will inform your employer that you are having bogus mba certificate so you will lose the job.
Actually I have not required their certificate, I am working on my certificates but they are thinking I am un educated.
They are trying to black mail and take some money from me
This is 100% bogus university and please do the needful to close and arrest these people.

Yahoo! fantasy football

Thank you yahoo for ruining my playoffs! I just needed to make one lineup change, sitting tim hightower for t.J. Yeldon in my ppr league. What happens? Yahoo! Server is down! Can't connect on my phone, can't connect on my desktop. Tried and tried to no avail. Then the game started. Needless to say, not being able to start yeldon was the difference between a w and an l! Now i'm out of the running for the big prize and $$! Had i been able to make this change, i would've won by 1 pt.! Yahoo ruined my fantasy season!

Yahoo! yahoo mail

After having both a yahoo.co. uk mail account and a hotmail account for well over 20 yrs. decided enough is enough and it's time to complain. my hotmail account has worked without problem for over 20 yrs. yet my yahoo account constantly fails to access. on average I get between 12 and 25 failed to login messages per day, and have done for over 20 yrs. I also constantly get change password notices, only to have the new passwords rejected when I try to access my account. as a full time carer of a wheelchair bound mother I do not have the time to constantly change or update email accounts, and living on a below the minimum wage income (£ 62.10 / wk carers allowance) I cannot afford a expensive email provider. I realise that to a huge multi - million pound, supercompany like yahoo I am little more than a piece of dirt under your shoe, and a unimportant worthless little individual. but I still think that I do not deserve to be constantly mucked about like yahoo has done to me over the last 20 years, and continues to do so on a daily basis. thankfully all my important emails are sent to my hotmail address as I have never been able to rely on yahoo. who even fails to acknowledge complaints on twitter.
Some people dream of being rich and powerful. my dreams are more down to earth. I dream of one day owning a smart fortwo and on having reliable email addresses. I am saving for a smart car, and will hopefully own a second hand one in three years time. I have given up all hope of ever having a reliable email provider. - [protected]@hotmail.com (as the [protected]@yahoo.co. uk email hardly ever works.)

Yahoo! allowing of abusive emails to be sent to me

From: little peter

Subject: doing maximum damage

Message: I am sure my this account will be suspended after you read this and "turn me in". The fact is that I cannot be kept out of this forum. I have multiple accounts and I now have a job to do. I am so sick and tired of these a######s reporting that I am starting my plan of attack. If you really are a nurse you are intelligent enough to understand what I am saying. U know as well as I that there are plenty of d######es in here and most people are fairly ignorant to begin with. I have a college education in mechanical engineering and also about 7 years exp. in medicine. I know that I am going to be able to give answers and someone will get killed. Yes that is my intent. If I can get just one baby to die from my suggestions to a mother or some d#####s to electrocute himself because of how I describe a repair, it will all be worth the effort. With 20 years exp. in electrical work I know how to do all electrical repairs which means I also know the wrong ways to repair. I am willing to bet I can get someone killed and this is very exciting for me. I really want to see some babies die though. After the **** I put up with in here today my decision is final. I will be opening at least 30 accounts tomorrow from a variety of computers so that I will be allowed to use all the accounts for Y!A. Trust me, I am one mean, cruel, and ruthless son of a *****. I want some people to die. God, if I could just be there to see it. I have had it and I want to cause as much pain as soon as it is possible.

Yahoo! Yahoo journalism

Dear Yahoo,

You are becoming the National Enquire of the Internet. Your news articles are more opinion pieces, with lose, one sided facts then investigative journalism. Matt Bai, one of your writers has to be one of the worst offenders. Yahoo please don't participate in Yellow Journalism. Yahoo has become so liberaly slanted that you are no longer a credible news source. You chose Hillary Clinton as your President and ignored or did not print unfavorable news coverage of her during the election compared to Trump. Not a Trump supporter myself, but your journalism has lost its own credibility. Stop catering only to the left and start doing some ethical journalism.

Thank you Jesus Yawee for writing your thoughts on the left-leaning Yahoo! News This morning, the day after the electoral college met and Trump won, wouldn't you hope that Yahoo! would have at least one article about the results of the electoral college vote. No, not one. Instead they have a headline news that states: "Tom Arnold: I have racist Trump outtakes", another top story about how TRUMP MAY NOT BECOME PRESIDENT (this was apparently just now deleted around 12:30 PM the day after the electoral college vote, another one about how Bill Clinton: Trump knows how to get angry white men to vote for him. I am not a Trump supporter either, but the fact is the citizens of this country have lived through a year and half of "despicable campaigning" from BOTH sides and we are sick of Yahoo!s swayed opinions about this. If you cannot be non-biased then you should not be calling your website Yahoo!News. Perhaps "Left leaning Yahoo! Gossip" would be more appropriate. We need to move on as a country. How about helping us out by honestly presenting both sides of the story.

Yahoo! supreme fit garcinia, premium brand snake venom peptide cream

I tried "Free trial" on above but later received unsolicited products
and at MUCH HIGHER cost than normal - e.g. a $10 bottle of Garcinia was sent and I was charged $92.00 - 10X as much as they should have. These sights should be monitored and required to give address for returns and phone numbers. I have suddenly been scammed TWICE recently and of course I'll never do this again, but the advertising industry should stop this stealing.

Your lack of knowledgeable information that you sensationalize before you have the full information seems more often than not to make you look like stupid. Let the story lead you, you do not lead the story.
The active shooter lock down is a "code" not a "description" on school campuses. Do you understand that now. Dummy's.

Yahoo! yahoo news

Please knock off all of the negative reports about what yahoo thinks donald trump may or may not do to ruin our economy. He is being raked across the coals by your news media before he even has a chance to prove himself. Our citizens elected him by the laws of our nation. Let him get into office and do the job he was elected to do. Back off, yahoo news!

Yahoo! comments sections on new stories

Please put back the old comment section including notifications of replies and the thumbs down option. Commenting on news stories was fun and sometimes the only outlet to voice opinions and get replies from others on my opinion. There are so many posts about this I can't believe you haven't listened and changed it back. I alone have seen thousands. I have never seen one that supports the changes. If u are not going to listen to your users then perhaps you could at least post a response to all of us in the main headline news section where we are most likely to see it explaining why. I cannot begin to explain how frustrating it is as a consumer to never get any response from large businesses such as yours. I have been a loyal follower of yahoo for a long time. For the first time in many years I removed you as my homepage after years of changes that have negatively impacted my experience.

Surprised by the obvious level of political bias; although I'm not a die hard republican, I am offended at the purposeful brainwashing of extreme liberal bias of the so called news you are presenting. Please, oh please, keep your personal viewpoint away from tainting this widely read tantalizing, National Enquirer format from the poor little person that may be more naive and impressionable.

Yahoo! fraudulent activity: [protected]@yahoo.com

I contacted yahoo with regard to someone from Russia who hacked my email and infected my computer. You referred me to a security company that cleaned my computer. I entered this email in Reverse Genie to see if this person is trying to hack other people. I have been notified weekly that this person in Russia is contacting multiple people. Why hasn't this been taken care of. He is a scammer portraying another person on an online dating site. He needs to be stopped!

Yahoo! yahoo mail

Yahoo mail keeps coming up with a pop-up to force you to make yahoo default search engine just for using it or decide later / close. Even after you say decide later or close. It appears again. This forceful approach to change the users of yahoo mail doesn't seem to be friendly to using its yahoo mail product. I would not be surprised if there doesn't become a class action law suit out of this behavior

You should disable pop-up ads in your browser. A class action lawsuit filed by anyone would be ridiculous.

Yahoo! yahoo "news"

Yahoo so called news is doing nothing but fanning the flames of violence. Your articles turn my stomach. What happened to being fair and impartial? This is "supposed" to be news, not private opinions, if that's the case then label them as such. Yahoo seems to go out of it's way to include every disgusting, disruptive piece that can be found, or worse, dreamed up. ENOUGH. I've seen the quality of articles decline steadily, once there were excellent science pieces, but now only a small scattering. Yahoo has turned into something lower than the National Enquirer. Are you trying to start a civil war? If that's the case, then whoever runs Yahoo is sick indeed.

Yahoo! yahoo homepage and e-mail service

There has been over the last year or two, a steady decline in the performance of the Yahoo web service.
The service is constantly "not responding" and having to refresh. The e-mail service is getting almost unusable due to the constant interruptions whilst typing e-mails causing extreme frustration.
It is baffling to me that Yahoo is allowing it`s service to get so bad that people are constantly posting their views of dissatisfaction and yet, the service still declines in it`s performance.
Constantly having to refresh a screen or re-type sentences in an e-mail is frustrating and annoying.
Are Yahoo so up themselves that they don`t take any notice of their user`s concerns? If the people at Yahoo don`t care then I will be disappointed. If they do care, then an improvement is required in order to keep me using the service.
If Yahoo wishes to keep it`s users then it should address complaints to their customers satisfaction. Put these problems right or lose us.

PS; Too many adverts.

Yahoo! yahoo news

The articles which display on the homepage of Yahoo are from radical, far-left and extremists websites like Huffington Post which should be shut down for hate-speech and inciting violence across the country. Almost all the articles from extremist sites like VOX and Salon turn out to be deceptive or discredited and yet there is never a retraction or an apology, just another angle and another Leftist attack on views held by most Americans. This translates into violence, confusion, and division. Yahoo! intentionally disseminates misinformation in this way and allows anyone with dissenting views to be branded racist, misogynist, xenophobic or homophobic . IS YAHOO FOR ALL AMERICANS OR JUST THE ONE-THIRD ON THE LUNATIC FRINGE OF THE FAR-LEFT? STOP PUBLISHING HATE SPEECH FROM HUFFINGTON POST, VOX OR SALON OR ANY EXTREMIST SITES LIKE THAT, PLEASE!

Yahoo! yahoo not writing stories on their homepage equally on negative & positive things for trump & hillary

I would like to know why your company writes so much Crap about Trump that's mainly negative and Very little about Hillary? To tell the truth I don't care for either of them but I do believe in be equal for both parties. I look at what yall put and its probably 90% negative for Trump what yall write and 10% negative on Hillary. Its quite obvious who Yahoo wants to win and Trump has said it all a long what I just said. Would a person vote for someone they don't like or someone that has know idea how to tell the truth? If I continue to see the same effect on not being equal on your company homepage ill write letters to anybody I can get a hold of, rather its BBB, New York Times ect... JUST BE EQUAL that's all I ask...

I agree with Don Beam. I was searching for a way to address this concern with Yahoo. Yahoo writer's personal views drive destructive content instead of providing well researched, pithy news articles that are beneficial to American. Yahoo, like multiple other media sources, antagonize and in sighting fear in their readers for profit. Yahoo has become the lowest form of journalism equivalent to a gossip column. Yahoo is no longer a credible news source.
