Yahoo! add click fraud

I am Iqbal Punjabi from Mumbai. One of my friend introduced me to indiafuture which is a yahoogroup where they say you have to take membership by paying Rs.900/- and you get 2 ID’s on which you have to work by seeing advertisements for atleast one minute. In one day you get 18 mails on each id’s. they will give Rs.6000/- per I.D. and if you introduce 3 members within 7 days of joining you get additional bonus and 10% of their working income. That way one can earn upto Rs.15, 000/- p.m. When you check on google search they say in this group you can earn Rs.18, 000/- to Rs.25, 000/- per month by joining them. You can check it yourself by going on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/add_indiafuture
I joined the same on 13th. May 2013. On the profile form they say all these . All incomes details and joining fees are given in details. They say that they give 1st. payment in 45days and then regularly in fifteen days. They give one ID payment by APDC ( Advance post dated cheque) .
I got a phone call from number [protected]. He said his name is Shubhankar(god knows what his real name is) and he is operater of the team in which I am and asked me to introduce more people under me so that I can generate good income. He assured me that this is Yahoo work for which their office is in Kolkatta and head office is in London, ie. Yahoo.uk. and all these mails come from there only and these work will never stop and I can earn with other a lifetime income. You get ID’S after paying 900 rupees . the id’s are memmem14 or 15 or 16 [protected]@yahoo.in., IF THEY ARE NOT YAHOOGROUPS, ARE THEY AUTHORISED TO MAKE 100’S OF ID’S, ARE YAHOO NOT AWARE OF THIS, he send me a mail on my ID. To deposit the money in RABIN DAS account . He send me the bank details as follows:-
RABIN DAS-IDBI BANK –A/C. NO. [protected]-BRANCH-SODEPUR-IFSC:IBKL0001148., RABIN DAS-ICICIBANK-A/C. NO.-[protected]-BRANCH-DUNLOP-IFSC:ICI000000900. SCB A/C.NO. [protected]. OR DIRECT NEFT THROUGH YOUR BANK.
VISA BILL: [protected]. they have the option of paying by credit cards also.
THESE MAILS COME FROM add.[protected]@yahoo.com to [protected]@yahoogroups.com and is given to all the members ie. memmem [protected]@yahoo.in
I started introducing members and depositing cash in RABIN DAS account in ICICI BANK. They send me my post dated cheque drawn on IDBI BANK vide cheque no. 027817 for an amount of Rs.7800/- dated [protected], which was completion of my 45 days work., drawn on SODEPUR, branch, which I received by speedpost vide docket no.RW407290569IN. ON 05TH. JUNE 2013. The sender address is written R.F. PVT. LTD., 109, NR. C.S.M. NABAGRAM, PIN-712246. This boosted my confidence more. Everyone of us look for extra part time income to meet day to day expense.
Daily Shubhankar was in touch with me on the phone giving guarantee that this work will not stop as YAHOOGROUPS work is running round the world since the last 5 years. He said there are big groups working in Mumbai . I requested him to give me some details for which he asked me to send a request on india.[protected]@yahoo.com, which we use this for sending profile update and queries, but he never send the details as he says he was very busy cause some delegation has come to their office from YAHOO.UK
On Sunday 23rd. june 2013, no mails came, mails come around 8-00p.m but it shows London time ie around 3 or 3.30pm. On Monday the 24th june 2013, I called him throughout the day but he did not picked the phone or reply to the sms. Next day he called up and apologized saying that his father had to be admitted and is serious in ICU. I inquired about the post dated cheque of my team, he said he will arrange soon which were overdue by 10 days. I think that a week before the cheque date he must be giving his father excuse to all. Don’t know how many fathers he has. Must be a pure illegitimate child as his work.
All the adds on the mails are top brands of international as well as national repute ie. Marks and spencers, apple, Samsung, whirlpool, LG, Reliance, almost all private and nationalized Banks and Insurance ., Flipkart, etc. Wonder how these brands are not aware. Mostly all of us effected are not going to use or endorse these brands for sure until and unless things are clear.
On 28th. I deposited the cheque in my account, he talked to me on 28th. And 29th. Also. On 01st. when I went to the bank I was shocked to know that the cheque has returned as they had stopped the payment. Since the last 5 days I am desperately trying to call on mobile, sms being send and mails being send on india.[protected]@yahoo.com, but phone is not being picked up, no reply for sms and mails. I still can’t believe it that this is a fraud . I wonder how Yahoo.in and Yahoo.uk are not aware of such a massive scam or fraud using their names. I did the work till 04th. June 2013. They have played with the emotions and small dreams of everyone. Now there are more than 20 members below me. I don’t know how to explain them. There are many more cheated from this group. Surprisingly on the 3rd. and 4th. July 2013. They are sending mails that those who have not received the payments kindly send your bank details as to process the payments to all the members. They are gathering all your data.
Please friends don’t get involved with this group as they have broken the trust of many innocent people who had dreamed by giving to their family a decent living by putting their efforts in this work. Now they all are left losing their money and time being put in the work.
I am forced to file a complaint with Yahoo.in and Yahoo.uk and the media, and cyber crime complaints against them. And if anyone of you’ll are effected don’t be shy to raise your head in dignity and complain against these scamsters .
Will someone look in the matter and bring these cheats to the books and block their accounts immediately.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THESE THUGS,
IQBAL PUNJABI.

Yahoo! yahoo! bangalore - corrupt, vengeful & unprofessional hr

Yahoo! Bangalore - Corrupt, Vengeful & Unprofessional HR

Yahoo! is previous employer . My prospective employer used a background checking agency (without my permission). And this background checking agency called Yahoo! and Yahoo! wanted this background checking people to write an email.

I did not give my prospective employer permission to contact Yahoo! AND I NEVER GAVE YAHOO! PERMISSION TO REVEAL MY DETAILS TO ANYONE, LET ALONE STRANGERS. I only came to know that my prospective employer used a background checking agency when my job was declined based on the feedback from Yahoo!.

It was easy for me to get the name the background check agency, and I knew someone who works there, so I was able to get the reply-email that Yahoo! send my prospective employer. It is shocking to say the least, and the woman at Yahoo! deliberately tried to ruin my career.

I'm thinking about whether to make the reply public.

Yahoo! internet fraud

Dear Friends,

My email address had been hacked. I have reset my password and I hope this problem does not arise again.
The hacker went through my personal information and emailed everyone in my contact list with the intention of getting money transferred to a bank account. He/ She was using my email account to send messages and an alternate "[protected]@yahoo.com" email account to receive emails.

His emails were as follows :

Please I need your help, I'm in a fix. Can I get a loan of 162, 637.95 rupees which is $3000You'll have it back as soon as possible. I lost my bank card, I can't access the ATM as planned. I'll appreciate what you can give if not all. It's really urgent, Get back to me, I'll advise on how to send the money to me. Keep this between us.

Upon replying to him, he/ she would address you as if it were me addressing you in a specific recognizable way, meaning that my past recorded emails were checked and the history learnt and addressed everyone in the same manner - for Example I had my son reply saying "Ok, when and where to transfer the money " and the reply was as follows :

From: sunita giridhar
Date: 14 May 2013 05:33:47 PM GMT+05:30
To: "[protected]@hotmail.com"
Subject: Re: Urgent !

My dearest betu Manish, Please note that he has gone through my previous emails to my son and seen how I address him = betu

Thanks for your urgent response to my request, here is my account details stated below: Please go ahead and transfer the money to the below stated details

BANK NAME: HDFC
NAME: ANSARI ENTERPRISIES
CURRENT ACCOUNT NO: [protected]
PAN: BCXPA0183J
IFSC: 0000114
BRANCH: ANDHERI (W)

Once more i thank you wholeheartedly for your support, hope to hear from you soon with the transfer slip.

Your loving
Mom

** PLEASE NOTE THE "FROM" EMAIL ADDRESS - SUNIT"E"[protected]@HOTMAIL.COM **

Furthermore, the banks that I have an account with, have been contacted and were approached for fraudulent activity.
Please IGNORE any emails requesting for money from me.

Thanks and Regards,

Sunita Giridhar

Yahoo! yahoo is the scammer

Yahoo is claiming that someone (always in a 3rd world country somewhere...) was hacking into my account. It happened already few times with my Yahoo account(s)- no matter how long and complicated my passwords are, and researching this issue for quite a while, leads me to the understanding that-- Sorry, no hackers here, but Yahoo itself! With shady service and illegal conduct, trying to force me to change my email into Beta, or force me to purchase “extra“ protection package, or obtain my phone number and other personal details (to add to data they are selling to databases).
Bottom line- Yahoo is horrible, so their Beta version, so their new CEO…

Yahoo! defective product.. bad return policy

Purchased a pulseoximeter ..Fingertip pulse oximeter, CMS50DL, oxygen meter. Product worked for less than 10 days. Customer wanted me to spend moneys to return product and pay for postage and insurance. Product was a $22.95 USD product. I asked for a replacement and was issued an RMA but no redemption for return costs. Company told me that "they made only a few dollars on this product and would pay for return to China." This is a life critical piece of equipment so be warned .. there are plenty of good vendors out there to purchase from .. JUST NOT THIS ONE.

Yahoo! deletion of folders and emails

Yahoo Fails to Restore Millions of Deleted Emails

This is a warning to back up your Yahoo emails. Over the weekend thousands of users had their entire set of folders and emails deleted. At least download your contacts list to a CSV file.

This is the press release issued today:

Yahoo Fails to Restore Millions of Deleted Emails

Many thousands of long term users of Yahoo Mail have just had their entire set of folders and emails deleted due to an upgrading snafu on Friday / Saturday March 1 / 2. This includes even paying Plus members.

It appears that during the upgrade Yahoo technicians decided to upgrade all Classic users to the (largely disliked) New email system. Naturally most declined this upgrade and so Yahoo deleted their entire accounts including all folders, emails going back 10 to 20 years, and contact lists.

I lost 13 years of folders and emails - many from long dead friends.

Many others report losing important documents, files and correspondence from business and personal contacts. One used his account to track online orders for running a delivery business. All have now been lost.

Naturally Yahoo is not contactable via anything other than a pro-forma. Naturally the pro-forma for restoring deleted emails fails to cater for this emergency.

Many members have requested restoration of their folders and emails. But they only have 24-48 hours to do so. Then all is lost anyway.

I requested a complete restoration immediately. And like others we received the following auto-response:

===

Mail - Messages disappeared, unknown reason [Incident: -deleted-]
Sunday, 3 March, 2013 19:37
From: This sender is Domain Keys verified "Yahoo! Customer Care"
To: [-deleted-]@yahoo.com

Response
**This is an automated response**

We have attempted to restore your mailbox using the information that you provided. If some of the emails were not restored, it is because they were not available in the snapshot used.

After we received your request, we looked for a copy of what your Yahoo! Mail account looked like at a specific point in time just prior to your requested restore time. Your entire mailbox (including your Inbox and other folders) will look exactly like it did at the time the snapshot was taken.

Since we are only able to restore your entire mailbox, there are some limitations to what we are able to do when restoring:

- We cannot restore any specific message(s) or folder(s).

- We cannot restore any message(s) lost while composing.

- We cannot undo this restoration or restore messages lost because of this restoration.

- Emails received after the recovery date will no longer be available.

**Please do not reply to this email, as no one will receive your message.**

===

YET NO FOLDERS NOR EMAILS WERE RESTORED - ALL HAS BEEN LOST - 13 YEAR'S WORTH FOR ME, UP TO 20 YEAR'S WORTH FOR OTHERS.

This is utterly unacceptable. Yahoo has remained silent. Meanwhile it has been opined by some that Yahoo technicians are staging a protest against their CEO demanding that they commute to Yahoo HQ to work and not to work at home.

Certainly there are co-incidences of timing. If members do not request a restoration withing the 24-48 hour gap then restorations cannot be carried out - period. Apparently Yahoo's backups do not last longer than 48 hours. And the major snafu occurred on Saturday morning (UK-time).

As far as I am concerned - and I hear rumours of others' - there will be many abandoning Yahoo Mail (and its other services) in the next few months. Certainly for many this is the final nail in the coffin of using Yahoo Mail.

From the post it looks like Mr. Sumeet Sharma has some personal enmity against the user with the id malinikajarekar@yahoo.com
Why would anyone share such intentions with you? I request the moderator to please look into this issue and delete this post.

Yahoo! fake news stories, fraud, scam, and abuse!

Fight against cyberbullying!

This is a complaint I am filing in general against internet companies that does nothing to remove negative reports put on you from someone else and then the innocent party that did not write these demfamatory, slanderous reports gets blamed, wrongfully accused and slandered over the internet for no reason and yet there is no law that states that if you want to be removed from the internet than these companies like google, yahoo, bing, aol, earthlink, netzero, fraudbug, [redacted], badbusiness, 123people.com, pipl.com, spokeo.com, hingnet.com, checkmate.com, peoplesearch.com, peoplesmart.com, peoplefinders.com, 1&1 domain.com, spider.com, do not do anything if you don't want your information on the internet and someone else put it there these companies refuse to take it off or companies like [redacted] or cavetemptor a website by a lawyer named sam glover that will use your name and addvertise your name without your permission and if you complain they threaten you away. There should be a law where there is no such thing as your personal information having to be public like your name address phone number etc. These are your personal information including e-mail and cell number you should not have to give like google will always ask for your cell number. It seems like there is no such thing as privacy any more. People will write negative stuff about people even if they do not know who they are. Cyber bullying laws should be strickter just like that of murder or any other serious law. Internet maybe a place where people can vent freely but there should be a code of ethics of some sort for slander and defamatory language use and writing fake stories to use against innocent people for no reason. That is why so many people get hurt because there is so much miss use of the internet now a days. Bullying and harrasing people to get their personal information should be prohibited and slandering people for no reason should also be prohibited from the internet or anywhere. Freedom of speech is there yes but how you use that law does make a big impact on society. If you want to impower people instead of just being negative or point fingers than people should use more sensetive and appropriate language that does not hurt or threat or slander people for no reason. Promote more peace instead of the violence! The internet should be a positive expericence but it seems as though everywhere I read something most of the time it is negative. Trying to purposely hurt someone will only backfire on you. As they say what goes arround comes arround. The more positive energy you put out into the world the more the light will shine. Please stop the cyberbullying, the threats, the violence! Enough allready! Fight against bullying and make a difference!
