Very poor 🤒
We don't know much about how Yahoo! handles customer complaints outside ComplaintsBoard, but what we see here, on our website, is quite disappointing. We think there might be reasons for the company's actions (like not knowing about the complaints), and we would be happy to see them among customer-focused businesses that easily solve customer problems. But until that happens, we ask reviewers to be cautious when dealing with Yahoo! and using their services, and to carefully read the experiences of other customers on ComplaintsBoard, because who is warned is armed, you know! 💪

Yahoo! Defauding Joplin Tornado Victims

http://www.legalnewsline.com/news/233253-mo.-ag-sues-towing-company-over-joplin-work

Mo. AG sues towing company over Joplin work
BY BRYAN COHEN

Koster
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Legal Newsline) - Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster announced a temporary restraining order on Friday against a Parkville, Mo., towing company for allegedly defrauding Joplin residents.

Northland Tow Services allegedly violated the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act in the aftermath of the May 22 Joplin tornado. Koster alleges that the company towed motor vehicles that were damaged by the tornado, falsely represented to some customers that it worked with an insurance company and towed other vehicles without the owners' permission or knowledge. A total of 54 vehicles were allegedly towed from the area affected by the tornado to a location in Baxter Springs, Kan.

"Unfortunately, there are always those who will take advantage of unsuspecting consumers during times of tragedy, " Koster said. "I want to continue to assure consumers that this office will be aggressive in going after those who engage in this illegal behavior."

The court order prohibits Northland from conducting business in Joplin, Jasper County, Mo., or Newton County, Mo., without having previously been solicited to do so. In addition, it is prohibited from transferring any motor vehicles it towed from the area affected by the tornado without prior approval of the court and from disposing of any documents related to the towing.

In June, Koster filed a similar lawsuit against Independence Tow & Recovery Inc. In both cases, Koster is seeking restitution for consumers and civil penalties.

BEWARE of NORTHLAND TOW SERVICE
The scammers came down to Joplin, MO, during the tornado disaster.
The manger or owner of Somerset apartments either knowingly or stupidly allowed them to drag off vehicles to Kansas ( and who knows where else) without notifying owners. I found out the name from a KC contractor working on cleanup. Then Northland dispatchers gave me an imprecise address as I looked for my nephew's car. The dispatchers are rude ( except for one lady) and the manager who put a guard on the cars after I located the hidden lot was a crude, impolite, crook. He priced gouged charging over 2 1/2 times the amount tow trucks charged in Joplin and then asked for a $30 a day storage. When I asked him to email me a copy of the towing authorization form, he said I don't have to send you anything. I don't even have to release a car on the weekend or on this holiday -( Memorial Day.) People are suffering in Joplin, and this lowlife is hiding their cars - probably to steal the catalytic converters and sell off the other parts when no one can find their cars. But I took pictures of the license plates and will turn them into the police, the highway patrol, the better business bureau, and the state's attorney general.

Yahoo! disabled my account for no reason

I've been using Yahoo! mail for over 10 years, as my main email account for both personal and professional correspondance. My account's address is : ************, and this is the address all my friends, business partners and correspondents use to contact me. Last Thursday, out of the blue, with no notice or warning, Yahoo disabled my account - I could log in, and people who wrote me had their mails bounce back. I had urgent messages to send and to receive, and all my addresses and contacts are in this account.
I filled up forms on yahoo's website and got back an automated reply that I'll get an answer within 24 hours. I tried to call them on the phone long distance (as I'm in Europe right now), I was put on hold 4 times for over 30 minutes and 2 times for over 45 minutes (at a cost of $0.11 per minute) and never got to speak to a representative!
Yesteday (72 hours after I started writing them= 3 promissed periods of 24 hours) I got message informing me that my account was disabled because I violated the TOS, inviting me to go read the terms of service and ... to open a new yahoo account ! there was no explanation, no hint as to what where the allegations against me, and as I said, no advance notice or warning.
Needless to say that I never came even close to violating their TOS, Ive been using my account only for emails for over 10 years in exactly the same way. On the other hand, I know they are now upgrading and changing their systems and I wouldn't be surprised if it's because of a technical error that they don't admit.
In any case this causes me inestimated damage and most of all, since we're not in the soviet union, thank god, big brother can't just blame me with something with out explaining and without letting me defend myself, just arbitrarly and abusively waive off a 10 year old client who trusted tham with their most important communications.
Thank you very much for your help

The same thing happened to me this weekend. I was logged in Sum. morning, then by Sun. night i was locked out. I emailed & received the same response that i had violated their TOS. I never violdated any TOS. I only use my yahoo acct. for a fantasy football league I am in. this also happened to 2 other people in our fantasy league. Next year we are changing sites. I have used Hotmail for my email for years and have even been hacked & had to recover my account from them & it was much easier to deal with.

I just paid $24, 31 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic GF 1 Camera that we got for $34, 26 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 42 inch LED TV to my boss for $678 which only cost me $68, 18 to buy.

These text messages/emails regarding lottery wins are all FAKE! Do not send any of your personal information to anyone who is stating you have won any money, they want money and information about you from you! Also DO NOT put your phone number etc on any website including this one as then other con artists can use you numbers etc... I live in Cambridge England and I now have your number etc, but luckily I'm not a con artist!

My YAHOO mail acct has been locked up for almost 2 weeks. I have notified the customer service IT agents via email but have not received a reply in almost 4 days. There customer service phone line disconnects you after listening to 3 messages which state that they want to ensure your satisfaction. It is extremly irritating that I can not access my personnal email information as I have numerous contacts and information forwarded to this address. I don't understand why this company is operating like this and have even called the corportate office in CA only to be disconnected there also. I would appreciate it if any one could help me resolve this problem .

Yahoo! fraud

Purchased for 2.97 grant kit with cancelation in 24 on 24 of April. Canceled n the 28th of Aprl after finding out they also took additional 57.61 on the 25th. Add does not state money is removed from checking account with in 24 hours. Called my bank and the grant service to cancel and was told by their customer service that the money was not yet removed from my account, that it was just pending and that the cancelation will stop the removal of this money. However upon the date of cancelation the money was removed and now they tell me that they can refund a partial amount and it will take 5 to 7 days to be put back into my account. This is fraud . If I have not used this program and cancel regardless of their time frame the withdrawing of the 57.61 within 24 hours is fraudulent. Their is no time frame stated on their ad so I should be entitled to all my money back with the the exception of the initial 2.97 of which I agreed to. This is is a very misleading company and people like me whom are interested in programs likethis but not fully knowledgeable shouldn't have to pay the price for their own greed. That's not help for anyone. That's just pure greed and misleading advertisement.

Yahoo new email now locking up my computer

Dear Sir.

I have found over time the last 13 years yahoo software was taking longer.

I recently down loaded and installed the beta new version and it locks up my PC.

I will try and get my emails and contacts directed to hotmail.

As I feel that yahoo has now failed to meet my needs and have deteriorated.

I feel I have lost all trust in yahoo.

I want to completely remove all yahoo soft ware from my computer.

If you can advise me on how to do that.

Thank you and every one who helped give me reliable service in the past.

Yours sincerely.

Hello All

Today I tried to register a domain name through Yahoo and after I made the purchase I realized that they will be charging me $34.95 for every year after the initial period ends. I cancelled my purchase immediately. (Approximately 5 minutes after the purchase) If I buy a car, you can bring it back in 5 minutes but Yahoo does not reimburse the fee they charged for. This is not the issue of $10 but how they exploit people.

What kind of consumer right we have. Do we need to read 500 hundred pages of agreement terms for every purchase? Why can’t we trust a company with some common sense? I think the most important market differentiation strategy for the future will be TRUST… and companies like Yahoo will pay a price for their opportunistic implementations…

I think there is a reason why they do not perform and become a laggard behind Google.

Please share this experience with others for minimizing any other exploitation.

Sincerely;

Y

I totally agree. They auto-extend your service. Sure, it is there in the term, but like you said, who reads the service agreement. The company is going down and down. They even increase the registration fee to $35 a year after $10 of the first year. I guess they desperately just want to raise cash, but people are not blind and that stupid, it will come back to bite you in the future and then yahoo will end up with much worse figure.

Yahoo! very poor customer service

Made reservations for hotel. Wife very ill so called to cancel since there were 2 reservations on the same confirmation number, had to speak with a person. Took over 2 hours and 12 redials to get through after being cut off by time out on hold. Cancellation was 3 days before staying there so well outside property's time line. Charged a $25 fee for cancellation. Absolutely the worst customer service I have ever had as when got through, could hardly understand the person from The Phillapines. Will never book through them again and suggest you do not, either. Had a previous trip on airlines which was cancelled and we could not make connection in Chicago, so never made our destination. Took 3 months to get credit back on card from airline as had to also go back through Yahoo travel. STAY AWAY FROM THEM! IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

Recently I booked a 1 way flight for my daughter and son-n-law through yahoo travel. I was emailed with a comfirmation number and e-ticket. It was 3 days later, that my credit card was billed for the tickets. When they went to the airport, the airline had no reservation for them and the flight was fully booked. My son-n-law called Yahoo Travel Customer Service number on the E-Ticket that was emailed to me and they refused to help, even though they took my money and confirmed a reservation for 2 seats, in my daughter and son-n-laws names. They claimed there was nothing could they do, and refused to talk to anyone from the airline the reservations was supposed to have been made through. My son-n-law is in the military. He was on his way home from vacation. He had til midnight that day to "sign in" at his military base or he would be considered AWOL. Yahoo Travel didn't care. But after he spoke to a supervisor for the airline, they used some "magic" and got both of them on that flight. We appreciated that and respect the airline, they really came through. But as for Yahoo Travel, you have incompetent people working for you and haven't got a clue about what REAL customer service is all about.

Overcharged me approximately $100 Aus for overseas travel They admitted the checkout figure was correct but that it was not accurate, What a joke-this agency trades under a name that suggests it is trustworthy-namely Yahoo.This could not be further from the truth-this type of advertisiing indicates deceptive and misleading conduct and never again will I have anything to do with the name Yahoo.

Our flight was canceled by the airlines due to a tropical storm. When we tried to get a refund, they gave us a very difficult time. I have not received it as of yet and I will likely be taking them to court. To anyone who reads this, never use yahoo.

Been on hold for more than 30 minutes now and dread the 2+ hours by another reviewer. What makes it worse is that the recording, “Thank you for holding, the next available customer service representative will assist you as soon as possible. We apologize for the delay and look forward to assisting you, " is repeated the entire time, so I can't even put it on speakerphone while I try to do other things because it'll disrupt the whole office! I doubt they look forward to assisting me. This is terrible.

They said this is procedure because they have to handle so many refunds ! I will never use them again and will tell everyone the same. Be Aware. Use them to see options then call the Airlines yourself for reservations.

Yahoo Answers need to be shut down; these trolls on there will
Disagree with anyone who doesn't share their views and then
Have their accounts suspended or give them a violation notice
To the highest degree possible! They are terrorists trying to kill
Their users softly with insults and twisting their words around,
They do that with me on a daily basis! The world will be better

Well, Yeah. They do have mouth diarrhea of the mouth. How is
It that when certain other folks have a question and answer;
They rarely get their account suspended or violation notice;
But when you do this; they give you one? I hate them and they
Will one day be shut down just like that corrupt MySpace Chat-room they used to have and now that is a chat forum!

i just had a bad experience with YAHOO ANSWERS, a person posted a comment which she used as a thank you forum she thanked every one who stood up for her, this is clearly in violations with the YA guidelines. you cannot answer this type of post as there is no question, so i posted these remarks, " i don't see a question here you do realize that this is suppose to happen don't you, " an she reported my answer. YA deleted an upon my appeal they backed up the questioner an i lost my apeal. this is clearly wrong an every one should not use YA any more as they discriminate on a daily basis.
thanks for letting mevent
