Yahoo! log in

I can't log in. After putting my password I am supposed to enter into my email, but that is not happening. One page is asking to accept OATH. The page is forcing me to give permission to OATH to interfere into my activities tracking emails its content and so on. This is not fair. Please investigate the matter why something is coming to enter into my account. matter is urgent.

yahoo is compelling other third partners to interfere into my activities. Yahoo wants me to accept third partners to share my information. since that has not been accepted therefore I am not being able to use my email account. This is against my privacy and against law. I want its immediate solution.

Yahoo! unsolicited mails from yahoo account : [protected]@yahoo. jp

This email address is threatening me and send me dirty wrong and stupid messages, please investigate and stop this harassing with your yahoo mail accounts:

[protected]@yahoo.jp

Bendigo47 is your pass word. Lets get straight to the point. You may not know me and you are probably thinking why you are getting this e mail? None has compensated me to investigate about you.

actually, I placed a software on the X streaming (porn material) web-site and do you know what, you visited this web site to have fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching video clips, your browser started functioning as a Remote Desktop that has a key logger which provided me with access to your display screen and also webcam. Just after that, my software program collected all of your contacts from your Messenger, social networks, and e-mail . And then I made a video. 1st part shows the video you were watching (you have a good taste lol), and 2nd part shows the recording of your cam, & it is u.

You got 2 options. We are going to take a look at these types of possibilities in details:

First option is to ignore this email. As a result, I will send out your video recording to almost all of your contacts and thus just imagine concerning the disgrace you can get. And as a consequence if you are in an affair, how it would affect?

Number 2 choice should be to compensate me $3000. Let us refer to it as a donation. Then, I most certainly will immediately discard your video. You can carry on with your daily ro utine like this never occurred and you will never hear back again from me.

You will make the payment through Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search for "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).

BTC Address to send to: 1B1QhMS5VCCswdPZj5ByDWkdYacH4Xqgj5
[case sensitive, copy and paste it]

Should you are making plans for going to the law enforcement officials, look, this email can not be traced back to me. I have dealt with my actions. I am also not looking to ask you for money a whole lot, I simply prefer to be paid.

You have one day in order to pay. I've a special pixel in this e mail, and now I know that you have read this mail. If I do not receive the BitCoins, I will, no doubt send out your video recording to all of your contacts including family members, colleagues, and many others. However, if I receive the payment, I'll destroy the recording immediately. If you want to have proof, reply with Yup then I will certainly send out your video recording to your 12 contacts. This is a non:negotiable offer, therefore do not waste my personal time & yours by responding to this message.

I've also received the same email numerous times. I blocked it and it just shows up on my ISP's email archive. Although it indicates a Yahoo.jp address none of the IP addresses appear to be valid and the GeoID Code shows Montreal, Canada. I've also sent the entire emails to SpamCop.com. Someone's just searching for someone who will believe this BS. I've been asked for anywhere from $1000 to $7000. Ha, good luck with that.

Yahoo! new version of yahoo mail

I was surprised to discover that Yahoo had implemented a new version of yahoo mail at the end of august 2018. I find the new version inferior in all respects to the old. In summary, it is less clear and I cant understand why the change was made without notice to your users or without giving them the option of deciding whether they wished the new version. Poor customer relations Yahoo! I am deciding whether the time has come for me to change to a new server.

Yahoo! luminited adverts showing doctored images of physically assaulted female celebrities

The adverts that Luminited create keep popping up on my pages. The problem is they're constantly doctored images of female celebrities as victims of violence - altered and photo-shopped to show them as though they have been beaten. As I need Yahoo for work, it's unsettling to constantly close images of black eyes and split lips and bruised faces. These pop up on the pain page, the advert side bar of my mail box and in the window where I read an article. I have repeatedly flagged the ads as offensive. I attempted to contact Oath about this but all the help files route me back to Yahoo account issues.

Yahoo! yahoo bias

I have yet to ever see yahoo say anything good about the President and his successes. It is all negative. I really have problems with this. If I have the opportunity to leave you I will in a heartbeat. It seems like everything that originates in the gay bay is anti-trump. all of your viewers or customers are not sodomites. I pray that your biased views come back to bite you in your sorry [censored]. I pray that you are the next Nike!

Yahoo! your search engine keeps popping up

Seriously, why are you still alive? How does such a crappy search engine still exist? Why didn't you just fade away like Netscape and AOL did? It's like you didn't get the memo that nobody likes your [censored] and you keep popping back like a creepy friend. I cannot stand your inefftive crap and I wish someone would invent an app to ban you from my PC. I will pay for that service. Ask Google to build you a time machine and go back the the 90's, please, stay there. Oh and take Bing with you.

Yahoo! ads

I keep seeing ads on your site that are clearly dubious and put out there to divide us. Please clean up your act yahoo- too many wicked characters are using your platform. Is it just that yahoo needs advertising income? We are still being attacked and yahoo is doing very little . The " reactions" are fake, sinister, and clearly NOT AMERICANS. Almost all Of them are stated to stir fury. Absolutely disgusting yahoo does nothing.

Yahoo! customer service and access to old emails

Today on August 31, 2018 at 11:27
1st complaint: I cant access my old emails to get a old resume to update.
2nd complaint: I contacted customer service and was hung up on before anyone answered.
3rd complaint: I call back and I explain that I need some old emails I sent to myself to get my resume. I ask him if he can help me get my old stuff ( I've had the same email since 1996). The guy I talked to took a minute to figure out what I really needed from him. Then the guy wanted to remote access to my account. I told him I'm not giving you remote access- I've been hacked on more than one occasion and I don't know you or trust you. So he hung up on me. He didn't explain anything to me just hung up. I've called the same number several times and now it goes to music and no one ever picks up the line.

Yahoo! an email apparently coming from your office

Hi Yahoo!

May I ask to verify if an email sent to me was legitimate or not.

Apparently, said email cautioned me that email storage has already been exceeded and further states that I need to re-validate my email otherwise failure to comply to said notice will lead to error and de-activation of my Yahoo.

I attached a copy of said email for your reference. Please advise.

Thank you.

Yahoo! racism

I typed in a search and their top searches was the most racist thing I have ever seen. Yahoo is well known to be a liberal biased company, but this is unacceptable. I want this to be handled like other stories. I want the leaders of Yahoo to acknowledge they push this narrative for their agenda. They should post a warning that they support biased liberal agendas and hide conservatives point of views.
