Yahoo!
reviews and complaints

Who writes of edits your so-called news articles? They write like 12 year old school girls. Cliche after cliche, buzz word after buzz word. Purposely distorted facts, outright lies and miss information. Don't you people ever do research? get the facts straight and write the truth. Do away with the misleading headlines that more often than not are incorrect. You people represent the 'dumbing' of America. Are you aware that foreigners/non-Americans consider American news sources/TV news channels as childish and superficial. You all ought to be ashamed.

The new Yahoo!Mail that we Yahoo users are stuck with is in no way better than the older versions, especially the contact list functions. It was so much easier before to create and update lists. When the new version kicked in, names disappeared from most of my lists and some important contacts were inadvertently left out of important announcements.
Please bring back the old "drag and drop" function for contact lists.
In the future, please please please don't "fix" what ain't broken!

Thank you,

Patricia Woods

A Yahoo email address is continually sending me spam, has signed me up for email lists and many, many other unwanted emails.
When I click on unsubscribe on these emails the request always goes to this yahoo email address melissa.her00@yahoo.com
I have 40-50 of these in the past month. You have the ability to stop this illegal activity.
I want a response!
Where can I send these emails to get some kind of action.
DO SOMETHING RESPOND TO THIS COMPLAINT

I have copied an example below for you about this problem. I keep receiving this daily and it is very annoying too. I have not changed my password but it seems hackers are busy here. Please rectify this as soon as possible as I cannot afford to lose my email information.

this is the last f---king time i am going to say this so LISTEN WELL there will be no other communication with you i will delete all yahoo services from my machines if you don't fix this problem...

i read your stories i then want to post a comment and it seems that if it has anything to do with the [censored] meagan markle and her [censored] life that i am not interested in goes to sign in and i sign in and i sign in and i sign in and i sign in so you can fix this or f off

I am complaining about adverts that keep beeing displayed at the top of my inbox. I do not wish to see adverts for child models uk. I find these adverts a bit sinister, who exactly is sponsoring these adverts and why are they displayed to me at about a ratio of one in three adverts? If I had a child I would most certainly be keeping them away from the entertainment and modelling worlds, so why are yahoo persistently pushing this subject matter? Are these adverts beeing pushed to many people? If so who is paying for these dubious attempts to recruit other peoples children?

I signed in last night and had difficulty deleting my junk and trash folder mails, then when I went back to my inbox, almost 98% of my inbox had been erased. It kept saying trouble at locating the yahoo server. When I checked this morning, they were still gone. This goes back to saved emails all the way to 2015. (Only about 300). What can I do to recover them?

I have been using the yahoo website as my home page for over 20 years.
Browsing through the current stories on the website, there is no mention or story regarding the signing this morning of the historic phase one trade agreement between the US and China.
Your bias has hit new heights!
I am changing my home page and will be deleting all references to Yahoo on my computer. You and your advertisers have lost a loyal user.

I have changed my password several times and before I can change it someone with another time zone is signed in to my e-mail. Who ever is signing in lives in another time zone. I have contacted yahoo.com/ verizon/security at first they didn't do anything just pointed to the browser showing me that I was being tracked. I threaten to write their headquarters then they stop it for about a month now someone is entering my e-mail again. This time I am not going to threaten to write headquarter I am going to write the headquarters. What good is a privacy policy if the company employees themselves are not following it?

My name is Migdana Stefanoaiei and my yahoo email accounts: [protected]@yahoo.com and [protected]@yahoo.com were hacked . This is a complaint - My electronic mail accounts were compromised and hacked. The person that hacked my accounts Name is: Florin Vasile Florici - from Iasi this person is a romanian citizen that has control on my emails and changed my recovery and alternate email addresses without my consensus and all these actions were done by stealing my phone and informations using brute-force. This person used the following false phone number 0746658392 and false recovery mail id: joopy06@yahoo.com At the moment the access to my account is restricted to me . To prove you that I am the genuine and authentic owner of the accounts - my phone number is +[protected] officialy registered by Orange communication company on my name . Please provide me a solution and advice for this situation because there are banking and financial information in this account and also personal information . Is it necessary also an Interpol complaint or any cyber crime complaint to an European institution authority to get involved? Please let me know about your solution and recommendation. I am writing you thinking you are more experienced related to this situation . Thank you for involvement.

My name is Diane Walker I noticed a email account with [protected]@yahoo.com this is not me I am afraid my information might be stored in this account please investigate and update me on the findings. [protected]@yahoo.com. I am not aware of any open email accounts under Diane Walker I don't know how to stop these actions.
Thanks
Diane Walker

Cannot recover the yahoo account I used for years.
When I typed my email and password, it now request me to provide a verification code to my old phone I no longer access.
When I click "I no longer have access to this phone..." it just says "Uh-Oh"... there are no other recovery option for your account..
What about the security question/answer I provided or my alternative email address...

Customer service basically provide you a loophole without any authorization to help you recover the account in this situation.
Yahoo used to be reliable but now when it's user needs to go several miles to recover an account that might not even be recoverable... while I hear several other user have lost many of their email because it was deleted by yahoo without their consent?

I have very low expectation on how connected Yahooo will remain to it's user after it was purchased by a new media company.
Now should I accept the few hundred $ lost, my personal email and some important ones and having to go that extra miles to change my email account on all linked account to a new google mail (since many changes require email verification) or help everyone by making a class case complaint which ... doesn't seem to merit the time either way.

For a billion$ media company... they should have develop a way for it's user to recover our sensitive email address by now and not weeks/months went pass by and still does NOTHING.

Edit: There was a solution suggested by Yahoo's customer care.
"Create a new email"... perfect.
Might have to do that on Google.

I was using yahoo mail while working in Guam, USA. In January 2019 I terminated my employment and moved to the Philippines. The email address belonged to the company I was working for, so as of 2019 it was no longer valid. HOWEVER the two tier security which yahoo uses refused to allow me to change my location and telephone number as BOTH were cancelled at the end of 2018.
I have tried unsuccessfully to utilize "HELP" with yahoo but was not able to access my yahoo account!
Just today, Dec. 29, 2019 I received a charge on my credit card for YahooPro email annual fee. I NEVER signed up for yahoo mail pro and after a year of using another email service provider cannot accept this annual fee!
My old email address : [protected]@yahoo.com
My new email address : [protected]@*********.com and my new telephone is +[protected].
Why yahoo has arbitrarily billed me for email which they will not allow me to use is a big mystery. I am reporting this to my credit card company as a fraudulent charge !

replying to papers on yahoo.. i note that anything i reply to is taken off can you please tell me why...if this is a [censored] thing. then how come the lib-dems can use it and not me.. if that is the case can you please reinstate my account back to normal how els can i put my point across i seen far worse on yahoo then what i have put on there...kind regards in advance...steve

I use Yahoo as my Home page and subscribe to a number of RSS feeds, both from news outlets and independent bloggers and podcasts. The blog and podcast feeds have not been working for years. Today, none of my news feeds are working. These include major news sources such as the New York Times, NPR, and CNN, as well as Yahoo's own news feed, plus several others. This is unacceptable!

FYI, I use the Chrome browser and an HP laptop primarily. I just logged into my Yahoo account on my Amazon Kindle Fire, using the Amazon Silk browser, and the same situation occurs there. None of my news feeds are connecting.

Most of the comments are racist against Romanians and Bulgarians as well as Europeans .
The comments are absolutely disgusting and shouldn't be allowed.
Is a Yahoo News so you should check the comments .
Discrimination and racism seems to get higher this days in UK towards EU citizens so all this news stories should be closley monitor. I hope that Yahoo takes serious racism and will take the appropriate measures. Thank you

in mail list i can only click on the email and read it but i am not able to do anything else, as delete or other things. On the right side of the window there is a space for addverts and it's blank. And i think that is the problem. I can see only some last lines of the emails and the older ones are just blank lines. Please fix it it soon or provide the old version of mail otherwise people will have to do something against you.

Yours Sincerelly

I am very troubled by your seemingly endless advance of a liberal slant in the news clips you present to us. Every year it has gotten worse. I am a moderate conservative, highly educated, physician. The news should not be presented with a bias or slant to any political side. It should be up to the reader to decide where their political views lay. What I am seeing now are stories that are liberal twists on the truth and in some instances down right lies. And not just about President Trump but also about politically charged topics like climate change, sexual orientation bias, and minority discrimination, to name a few. How did this happen? This kind slanted news just deepens the political divide. I do not believe in extremism, in politics or in news. I just cannot continue to read this hypocrisy you are touting as factual news.

Many public comments on Yahoo articles about China especially trade are racist and bias and use insulting names, specifically "Chinaman, Chinamen". They are the equivalence to the "N" word for blacks. In today;s society it is outrageous.
Please build into your editing to disallow these 2 words to print, or automatically change them to "Chinese".
Thank you for your attention.

Please cancel my e-mail account immediately. It has been compromised. I can not get into it. Someone changed my password I believe on November 26 (or around that date). I can't get anywhere trying to contact you. I seem to be blocked every way I try so this is the only way I can let you know what happened. The criminal has already used it to somehow get into one of my accounts and charge something through eBay which I have not used in a long time. I had to cancel my credit card with the fraudulent purchase. The name on the purchased goods looked oriental. The wrongful change of my password and the fraudulent purchase was at the same time so obviously it is connected. When I tried to get into my account after that, I found nothing but blockades to get instructions from you on what to do. I see nothing else to do but cancel this long-standing account so it can not be used by this thief. Obviously you cannot get me by email to even tell me you received this. By phone, you can call me at [protected] to let me know it has been done. I am very worried about this. Please cancel this account. Thank you.
