Yahoo! mails

I don't want to receive any of thoses e-mails.
Each time I unsubscribe, thoses mails come back. This is just not tolerable. If you propose an unsubscribe service than take it into account! I really don't care about your advertisements and the more you send the less I'm gonna buy so delete my mail adresse ans forget me! Forever! I'm fed up with that kind of practices. This is not commercial at all this is about annoying people
So please proceed to my request for all that kind of emails, see photos in attachment

The reason they come back is that your showing them that there is a real person behind who they are sending too. Its what they want you to do. NEVER EVER OPEN EMAILS THAT YOU DON'T KNOW THE SENDER!

Yahoo! customer service abuse

So I called 2 days ago regarding a different problem and a Yahoo Costumer Service Employee named "Ricky" tried to help me with my problem and told me that I had to wait for 24 hours to fix my problem so I did, after waiting for 24 hours I called again and wanted my call to transfer to Ricky after I got transferred Ricky told me to give him a little more time so that he can fix my problem and he will call later again to fix it so I waited and called back and one of the employees told me that Ricky had already left, which I thought was rude and no help at all was given to me, today May 10, 2018, I called again and made my transfer to Ricky and he told me that he can't fix my problem without me paying USD 100 and I told them I can't for security purposes, after that I asked him why I need to pay 100 usd, he didn't give me an answer he was only pushing that it is refundable so I declined, then he dropped the call and I called again and wanting to be transferred to a manager or someone higher, the employee that I talked to transferred me back to Ricky, I asked him why he dropped the call he said "That was my mistake, I apologize" I said "Okay, transfer me to one of your managers" he told me that he can't and I asked why he told me that my reason for calling is not a valid reason and I asked him "Bad Customer Service isn't a valid reason?" he said "Yes" and so I laughed and asked him "So basically you're denying me access to one of your managers?" he then proceeded to say "Yes, by the way you laugh like a dog you "Mother[censored]er" don't call again. I just wanted to talk to a supervisor or a manager and that was taken away from me.

Yahoo! advertising by fraudulent investment companies.

A news item on yahoo during april 2018 dealing with investment in crypto currencies, that aired on tv [dragons den ] to show how good it is to do this type of business, within this article was a paid advert promoting cryptopoint.com this turned out to be a fraudulent operation with me losing money that was stolen by this company. I feel that yahoo made money out of this paid advert, so yahoo is responsible for loses made by investors who were conned by this ad. Was this company vetted? or does yahoo sell advertising to all and anyone, without any checks

Yahoo! web news article - rental property trashed by 50 youths in out of control party

Please stop fueling racism in our country, this is not America. The story should have described the illegal crashing of the party by youths...not African youths or African boys!
In case you're wondering I'm not African either..just appalled at your news articles and the blatant unneeded racism.

Quotes:

‘Extensive damage was caused during a violent, out of control party crashed by dozens of African youths'

"They were spitting on her car and then I was checking something and the African boys said ‘Hey b****, f*** you, " neighbour Naz Baliker recalled.

Yahoo! "news" feed on homepage

The content that pops up on my homepage is offensive. There is a so-called article titled: "The Humanitarian Worker Contemplating Group Sex." Why would you put this "article" on the homepage? I assume people of all ages are exposed to it. I'm getting close to getting rid of yahoo altogether and making something else my home page and using some other email service.

Dear Manager, I'm a victim of a watch purchase scam on the Yahoo Ads by Wowmall. I ordered a S$79 watch online on 19/4/18 and received a dummy watch on 24/4/18 that is not working . They only accept COD and claimed to offer 15 days refund. I contacted them for a refund but they did not reply. I hope Yahoo can alert the general public on such scam and...

Yahoo! yahoo main page

I'll no longer use Yahoo a a source of news. Yahoo has WAY too many dummy links to the same partial news story to the one I selected, then breaks the story into 7, 8 or more additional pages to read the full story (which is usually "alleged" or "reported").

As Director of Information Technology for my employer, I'll will also blocking Yahoo access by any of our 2500+ employees.

Finally, I will tell as many of my peers and friends to do the same.

Yahoo! main page

The incident took place on May 5, 2018I had just logged onto the webpage and hadn't been there for more than a few moments, when I get redirected to a page that told me that my Adobe Flash Player was out of date and needed to be updated. Now, since I have Microsoft Edge, my Adobe flash player is included and updated automatically. This alerted me that this was a scam and the fact that my antivirus caught it too. This has happened numerous times and with many other people (with different pop-ups) and Yahoo doesn't care.

Yahoo! yahoo adverts

One of the adverts appearing at random at the top of the Inbox list is one which advertises a reputedly criminal Bitcoin scam, to which unwitting surfers have apparently lost many £millions.

The advert is entitled BooksWays 'Why Dragons' Den Has Been Cancelled' although the titles morph across a variety of versions. The advert links to:
http://topfinancedaily2018.com/r/uk/dd-dr/indexb.php?utm_ad=34203853889&utm_campid=&sig=MTUyNTM3Nzc1Nw%3D%3D.xN6hbGVoTqcZ8lH2iuxKYXSKg7o%3D&sxid=7qw55734p7uu

which is apparently a totally fictitious advert purporting to be a news article relating the massive profits available and enticing your customers to pay £250. It's doubtful that they will see the money again.

I refer you to media exposures of the scam:

Yahoo! yahoo news page

Your Trump resistance is pathetic. How many times have you posted a positive news feed about our president? Your refusal to even touch on any of Hillary Clinton's misdeeds let alone the way Bernie Sanders got screwed by the Clinton machine is disgusting. You delight in belittling our president every chance you get. Hey geniuses, if our president succeeds so does our country! You could care less about our country succeeding it is overshadowed by your hate for this president. You are pathetic.

Yahoo! yahoo mail

you need to do something to block the Britcoin Spam, it's never ending and i cant stop it at my end... your email service is now rubbish, i'll give you a few more weeks and then switch to Talk Talk. net.

your email is only for sending messages too and fro, you've made the service too complicated with annoying Apps and spam adverts...if i was Yahoo i would strip it all back to basic email only... it's now very annoying.

i have no idea why you have links to News, films and social media, in your email area, it shouldn't be there but in a separate area, you're email service isn't safe to use

you made a big mistake expanding it...after all, it's just for emails only

Yor Mexican News service is as leftist as Maduro and Castro Together
they only talk about the good it will be to live in Mexico when the extreme left candidate Lopez Obrador will win the Mexican elections and I haven't seen any good news about the other candidates

Any good news must be imparcial after all it is just a news not your political view
You should speak about infromation with out given your own and personal point of view.

They only talk about polls when they are in favor of the leftist candidates not their other way, I think if you are a news organization you should give fare news not Leftist news

Yahoo! cannot login and server impossible to access

Your service in India sucks. Cannot login and the server is too slow to open mail. AS a matter of fact, I cannot access my email and any mail I compose is being sent back as undeliverable. I think it is time to change to gmail. Yahoo in India is absolutely [censored]. Your server is India is either too slow or is unable to handle the traffic that goes throufg it. THe service provided by Yahoo sucks and the management in INdia will not resolve the problem. Login problems are continuous and even though I reply to the questionnaires nothing at all is being done. I am tired of the new White screen and please bring back the older version of yahoo. Or else cancel my account in INdia and let me login to the US version. INdia's yahoo is pathetic and insensible.

Yahoo! Yahoo Customer Care is appalling, unethical, and disrespectful of its users.

Yahoo's HELP centre is ridiculous! It's impossible to contact the help centre directly through email, with a specific problem. There are numerous CONTACT US links, which all divert back to the product-related help articles, none of which are useful for resolving my problem. The phone number provided for Yahoo Customer Service on the Complaints Board website is actually for a sex line.

Looking at the feedback on Yahoo's homepage many others also feel the same, and this appears to have been a problem for years - none of these complaints have been responded to by Yahoo, which I think is extremely disrespectful.

Seems like this company is taking the Mickey, making an absolute bucketload of money and leaving their users in the dark when they need direct assistance. Very poor service.

Yahoo! subscription payments

I have been charged £29.99 for my subscription this year 2018/2019 without being informed prior to this increase and I am asking why?
Previous years have been £11, 99 but now I have been charged £18.00 more without my knowledge.
If you can continue to do this without informing next year I will be cancelling my subscription.
Now will you explain why it has escalated and your reasons why?

Yahoo! message board

Why are terms like "crap" and "wtf" censored? These are words to AVOID curse words. Also terms like "KKK" and "Nazi" are not allowed unless they are describing republicans. It's hard to have a decent argument for historical context when normal words are censored. I'm sure the "n-word" is censored as it should be. This is just rediculous. I try to argue my point of view that a certain person isn't a racist or Nazi but it makes it look like I'm saying worse things when the public sees a censored word. Conservative posts are also deleted and this is a fact. If you truly beleive in free speech, act like it. Thank you

Yahoo! not able to access older mails, not able to send the emails. all these problems are being faced while using desktop and not mobile.

From last two days I am not able to access my account. I have to send number of emails daily but I am not able to. Next problem is if I open any email or want to delete something else appears on the screen. No attachments are being downloaded.
Apart from this, no emails are being marked as read.
I have 10 PC's and every employee is facing the same problem. Because of this failure, my work is being delayed.
