Yahoo! oviicha.com

This advertiser is a SCAM. They display an 8'10" faux privacy fence panel but what they send you is a 16 inch high tiny little grate with leaves that are not the ones in the advertisement. This is totally a ripoff. I couldn't believe I paid 70 dollars for 4 miniature panels. Is yahoo okay with this ad being featured on your website? Are you okay with yahoo customers getting ripped off like this? I will NEVER order ANYTHING from any of your advertisers again! Attached is a pic of what was suppose to be 8'10".

Desired outcome: Go after this site and don't feature it in your pages!!!

I too was sucked in by their fraudulent ad, where it shows an apparent 8 x 3 foot section of artificial vines going up on a fence. What was received instead was a tiny 13"x 60" piece of twigs with fake leaves attached. Unfortunately, I paid using PayPal and they paid for the product immediately, leaving me no choice but to keep the damn things.
Lesson learned - don't buy "made in China" products off the internet - too late. Yahoo should remove this vendor's ad and ban Oviicha for ever!

Yahoo! Fixing incorrect business listings

I am the Marketing Coordinator for Gardiner Federal Credit Union, in Gardiner, Maine. Yahoo has three incorrect listings. At least in the first two we are in Gardiner, in the third we're listed in Oakland Maine. Never ever were we there.
I had to create a Yahoo mail account, to get YEXT to even consider answering my questions. I tried unsuccessfully multiple times to fix the listing there, without being directed to pay for a YEXT subscription. Finally found a hack online to fix it for free, but it is not fixed.
We need ONE CORRECT LISTING ONLY.

Can you please help make this happen?
Thank you!

Desired outcome: Our listing is fixed, once and for all. One listing. We have one location.

Yahoo! Unethical behavior

This is a very offensively written article!
It's political and against many conservative believers, who have a reason to not be vaccinated. You are just in public service, not injection mfg. Advertiser! Even do. Please put your fingers to the facts rather than follow the extreme left, radical fricken ah's fanatics!
This article is a horrible piece of garbage!
Please remove asap.
This is a message of many people who feels the same way!

Yahoo! Bitcoin

We are continually receiving "junk mail" (spam) from Bitcoin, and despite numerous requests on our part to Yahoo Mail to block this sender, and numerous unanswered emails to Bitcoin Coin to "cease and desist", their junk mail . . "keeps on keeping on".

Yahoo Mail has failed to enforce numerous requests on our part to "block sender".

Bitcoin's high-handed disregard of our numerous email requests to "stop sending us junk mail" have been totally disregarded.

We would greatly appreciate it if Yahoo could permanently block this sender's "junk mail".

Thank you,

[protected]@yahoo.com
Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Yahoo! Error with Third-Party (Windows 10) mail client access to my yahoo mails - Error code: 0x8019019a

I changed the password for my yahoo email. I did that on my phone (when I needed an attached document in my mail but could not remember my password).

Following the change of the password, I have to effect the same change on my laptop - where I access my mail using the windows 10 mail client. The process goes through to the final stage, at which point I get the error reading 0x8019019a, and the mail client fails to update the password.

Meanwhile, the alternate mail receives the notification that my "yahoo account was used to sign in to a 3rd party application on Mail and Calender"

How do I resolve this issue? I prefer to have my mails in the windows mail client on my laptop for convenience and working offline.

Yahoo! Yahoo mail account password hack and no assistance from yahoo in 20 years

Yahoo's email service was incapable of assisting subscribers who had been hacked in the early 2000s, so I waited to see if anything would change. I waited years before trying again to get help from them. I had sensitive information and deeply personal photographs and emails in my account, most from loved ones who have died. Somehow, my password became compromised, yet Yahoo had no resources to help me with this problem. Fast track to 2021 and I discover that Yahoo has assistance with account retrieval if you PAY for it. I am going to guess that this paid service is due to the fact that Verizon (a HORRIBLE company that is notorious for price-gouging and terrible customer service!) bought Yahoo back in 2017. The end result: I cannot get any help or even have questions answered unless I PAY Yahoo (Verizon) for help. The chatbot is absolutely useless for my issue and, apparently, Verizon has outsourced customer service for Yahoo to India. Higher profits for shareholders and shady service for consumers. I have lost precious and sensitive data because of Yahoo and can't even speak with a Yahoo representative unless I pay for it. I am currently searching for any lawsuits launched against Yahoo that I can join.

Desired outcome: I want the assistance that Yahoo was incapable of providing years ago and I do not want to be charged for something that was never my fault.

Yahoo! Login

On 16th November 2020, I logged in as normal into my email account in the morning from Lanzarote (Spain), before I caught my flight back to the UK. In the evening, tried to log in, get the message "Sorry, we don't recognise this email account" I have had this account 40+ years, and have a lot of Client correspondence stored there. I have logged numerous complaints, but all I get back is a computer generated reply saying "try and change my password".
I would, If I could log into my account!
I have written to their address at 125 Shaftsbury Avenue, London, but the post was returned to me marked "addressee gone away"
What else am I supposed to do ?
Tried to phone them, but its a recorded message, and no help at all !
I have tried to set up a new email account, using the same login details, but then it says the email is in use !
I am currently using [protected]@hotmail.com
It is VERY frustrating, both for myself and my Clients, when I have to ask for information I already have, but it is stored on an email account I cannot access.

Desired outcome: I just want an explanation of why I cannot access my email account. I wont be happy about setting up a new account, because I need to access my history from my old account. I just want my account back.

Yahoo! email

I have received an extortion email from a person using a Yahoo email address: Tyoma Golovanov [protected]@yahoo.com. The letter is as follows:
In 96 h I'll screw up your prestige, read the letter until the end!
I'm not the one to judge your penchant to wanking, although any religious thought deplores that.
I'll not try you with philosophical matters what is right and what's wrong and I am gonna get straight to the matter.
I shot a video where you wank with the help of ur device camera as well as I have accessed to your social networking websites and have saved all contacts from your email.
Now I've got juicy details with ur covert pastime, and I grant you with forty eight h (as soon as you read this notice, I will be notified) to pay me.
After implementing my demands I'll destroy your shocking clip and u will never come across me again.
Otherlike, if you ignore my demand, within 96 hours I'll send ur video tape to ur loved ones and comrades, and I as well will distribute it on the net.
For u to understand the way this happened, I infected your device with my badware, that has the feature to give total access and distant control over all functions of your device.
You should not browse dubious web-sites, only by so doing u will be able prevent problems, or simply stop wanking.
Ur public image in the sight of your relatives is likely change for the rest of your life on viewing ur sex tape.
Pleas not to distribute your video clip will not be answered, because this electronic-mail was hacked and soon the access to it will be denied.

Attached file: Jeremy Johnson.txt (I did not open)

Desired outcome: Please respond due to this being a crime reported to the FBI

Yahoo! Political Bias

I am sick of the Yahoo political bias they show day in and day out. They do not even try to show both sides of the issues. Today, a legend and pioneer of talk radio died- a legend no matter who you are or what your political agenda is- and you can't find a word about it on their "News" site. Yahoo makes me sick!

Yahoo! Logon picture

The picture which comes up when I log on to Yahoo mail always seems to be two fighters staring right at me with mean angry faces. I find the picture very horrible and disgusting. How can I keep from having this atrocity coming up in my face every time? There used to be a button to click on to change the picture but it doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Desired outcome: Some option I can click on to change the picture to something nicer.

Yahoo! See description below

I read the Yahoo news every morning. For years I have been able to read a story, say a foot down. Then, when
I arrow back, it takes me to the story I just read so I can
do the story below it. Now, if I am a foot or two down
the news articles and arrow back it takes me to the very first story! This is most irritating. I then have to scroll a mile to get to the last read story. The programmer really screwed up here.

Yahoo! Community Feedback

Yahoo is still refusing to allow any comments on its "news", but yet publishes items that affect all of us. I am tired of them simply rendering the "community safe" rules...but yet publishing some really outlandish things. We are not interested in the newest Kardashian bikini, but we might be concerned that Yahoo is pushing the fact that Mr Biden wears his son's rolex (not true), and not paying any attention to the fact that Ms. Harris condems people who mispronounce her name (except Judge Sonia Sotomayor) or what is really happening with the 20, 000 doses of missing vaccine. Community input counts, or if you hate it so much, just block them. Yahoo used to be an open book but now, it is supportive of Democratic idealism but not community values...get real and put the community back into your comments

Desired outcome: Open the community comments again

Yahoo! Yahoo News front page

YAHOO NEWS.
THE FRONT PAGE SEEMS TO HAVE NUDITY OR BIKINIS OF SOME KIND DAILY. Is there nothing much to write about? Maybe replace it with the challenge of drawing people to click on something that is not related to nudity but at least give people good mental health. Like how to stop people from clicking, procrastinating, etc. At least something useful and helpful to mankind. Please use your platform for GOOD.

Desired outcome: STOP POSTING NUDITY, BIKINIS ON YAHOO NEWS. MAKE IT VISUALLY SAFE FOR ADULTS AND CHILDREN. PLEASE GO AGAINST THE TIDE.
