Yahoo!
reviews and complaints

When I get new emails they are titled as if they are from sources/ people that I often send emails to. This causes me to open a bunch of junk emails. This marketing tactic is a violation of my user rights. It's actually fraud and false advertising, or scamming or spamming but from yahoo. It has to be a Yahoo thing because many of my emails from various other sites are doing this.

This is the text of an email I just sent to Art-sy
(subject line) What are you doing?

To [protected]@artsy.net Today at 6:53 PM

At work today, on a break, I went to check my email with Yahoo and these images by Jock Sturges were popping up as my boss came up behind me and said, "What the hell are you looking at?"

I want an apology to go along with my lengthy explanation. I have used Art-sy before, and I'm used to pop-up ads, but I know you have only selected a few sensational images, as they are RIGHT NOW appearing rapid-fire in the left & right margins, as I'm writing this! I am also writing to Yahoo and will have to consider getting a lawyer if my job is in jeopardy.

To Yahoo: I would appreciate some feedback. Thank you.

Hi There, My name is Chris Candy and I am the IT manager for the Mike Carney Toyota Group in Townsville QLD Australia. Our group have been receiving threatening emails from one of your users and we would like you to find this person and remove them from your email services then find their IP address and send it to the police.

The threatening emails are like so... see below.

I am well aware 2nerds is your password. Lets get right to point. You don't know me and you're probably thinking why you're getting this e mail? No person has paid me to check about you.

Let me tell you, I actually placed a malware on the adult videos (porn) site and guess what, you visited this web site to experience fun (you know what I mean). While you were viewing videos, your browser started out operating as a Remote Desktop having a keylogger which provided me access to your display screen and web camera. after that, my software gathered all of your contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, as well as emailaccount. Next I created a video. First part displays the video you were watching (you have a good taste omg), and 2nd part displays the view of your web camera, and its you.

You got 2 options. We will take a look at each of these options in particulars:

1st choice is to ignore this message. As a result, I am going to send out your actual recorded material to all of your personal contacts and consider about the awkwardness you feel. And consequently should you be in an intimate relationship, precisely how it will eventually affect?

Number 2 choice would be to compensate me $1000. We are going to refer to it as a donation.in this case, I will straightaway erase your videotape. You will keep daily life like this never happened and you surely will never hear back again from me.

You'll make the payment through Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).

BTC Address: 16bgbRSiz8N8ZxbsA9YJwUtGF2x5uRBxzm
[CASE-sensitive copy & paste it]

If you may be thinking of going to the law enforcement officials, anyway, this e-mail cannot be traced back to me. I have covered my moves. I am just not trying to ask you for money a lot, I only want to be rewarded.

You have one day in order to make the payment. I've a unique pixel within this mail, and right now I know that you have read through this email message. If I don't get the BitCoins, I will, no doubt send out your video recording to all of your contacts including members of your family, colleagues, and so on. Having said that, if I receive the payment, I will erase the video right away. If you need proof, reply Yes! and I definitely will send out your video to your 12 friends. It is a non:negotiable offer, that being said don't waste my time and yours by replying to this mail.

The users email addresses so far have been...

[protected]@yahoo. jp
[protected]@yahoo. jp
[protected]@yahoo. jp

These accounts have been blocked on our exchange server so the person just changes their email address to bypass the filter. My next option will be to block the entire yahoo. jp domain, This means any legitimate emails will not be delivered to our email accounts.

Dates in Australian Time when receiving these emails

1/10/2018 8.45am
2/10/2018 2.40am

If you could investigate these accounts and see if you can locate this wonderful human and pass his information across to the local authorities that would be fabulous.

Regards,
Chris Candy

I have received disturbing emails from a customer of yours that are unsolicited and disturbing. I wish to advise you about this and ask that you contact this customer of yours and keep them from using my website contact form to send these disgusting emails.
Their account is: [protected]@yahoo.com
Owner: Clieenug

This customer of yours is selling sex slaves or something similar.

Yahoo,

Why must viewers observe a football player flipping the bird?
Your news is raunchy and lewd.
I hope that you will improve your decency and style of journalism.

Furthermore, Yahoo news shows bias reporting and attempts to persuade the
American people that the Democratic Party has the best interests of the country.
Report the news with the political agenda and let me form my own opinions.

Respectfully,

William Phillips

lies and aggressive comments that affect my health and image. I am currently in court with David Bright and have won against him. My lawyer has asked me to write to you first before taking any further action. The content by David Bright on this website is false and misleading and highly damaging

The service I received today was absolutely terrible I called yahoo number [protected] to recover my account I was told to buy a Google Play card to Google Play cards in order to get the hackers off my account I was also told I will be receiving a refund I asked how and I was told either credit card debit card or delivered to my door within 5 hours I asked for a number in Texas to verify that I will be receiving my refund was given the number one eight six six 978 87497 and was told a totally different story which was no I was being told I take the card back to Walmart and ask for refund on the card of course I called Walmart and Walmart said that was not true so I left the complaint on the yahoo.com and someone returned my phone call seeing if my problem was solved and I told him no I asked numerous of times for a company email or number to speak to someone that knew what they were talking about because I received three different stories I would like either someone that deals with the company directly to call me not a technician not a technician supervisor someone in Yahoo company.

Yahoo extortion spam
What is yahoo doing to block the accounts of [protected]@yahoo.jp, (aka [protected]@yahoo.jp, [protected]@yahoo.jp etc) who is using yahoo email address' to try & extort $10000s (bitcoin) cash from people using the threat of knowing & abusing old passwords
( Passwords which were probably gained from previous hacks of yahoo email accounts & address books ?)

You can see their are many other complaints from other users on this site in past month

I had email this peson about a loan application, as I was in need of money. Iam from Fiji Islands and I had contacted this person who said he was able to provide loans amounting from three thousand to three million dollars. Given how persuasive he was I was drawn to his scam and followed every procedure. As I paid the fee of $290 to Alisi Mei whom he said was the agent here in Fiji. After which he said that I contact another person named Joseph Davis, who said for me to pay $870 again before I get the loan. After much consideration I said enough because I finally realized that I was incurring a loss rather than getting a loan.As I asked for a refund he has been silent ever since.
Below is the persons address:
- [protected]@yahoo.com
- [protected]@yahoo.com

They told me they were prominent personnel from France. Please help me catch this scammers so that other people aren't lured into there scheme.

Purchased unwittingly a product advertised as a Breitling watch at a warehouse sale ar RM 299.
Had it delivered via DHL to my doorstep and paid COD for item.
On opening package the item was not a Breitling lookalike but a NACD watch similar in looks.
Please refrain frm allowing such sales into our systems. A thorough check of such sales outlet operating under different guises cause immense issues for your trusted users of Yahoo Mail.
All correspondence to Wowmail have fallen on deaf ears. Saddening

I'm having issues getting into my yahoo because my old phone broke and I had to get a new number, but the other email that is set up isn't one that's activated anymore. So I called and they wanted to know subscriptions I had, I named off quiet a few that i knew it was linked up with but they still needed more. I'm sorry but it's been a month or so and I can not remember every thing that is hooked up to it!

I deleted my phone number from recovery options in my account settings but when i try to "recover my password" it still allows me to use this phone number along with my recovery email addresses. How to make sure the phone number doesn't show up there as i only want to use other emails as a recovery option?
It is huge loophole in yahoo mail.
plz address the issue

You allow posting of information on your news site that is not headline true, this is wrong and irresponsible. This is not one time but many that I have allowed to go on questioned but this one takes the cake. If this indeed happened to her he was never a federal judge at that time. This is what I tried to send to the independent then I see on your web page for news it is gone but it remained for at least an hour that I am aware om your news site. Even Craigslist does a rudimentary check on items before they published. Yahoo is much bigger. I am creating a document storage of all the items that going on off your news site that your company is ultimately responsible for. This whole headline article is bad news reporting and is prejudging a person. Wrong, wrong. regardless if a friend(s) said something it is still hearsay and it is wrong to report headlines that are without merit. Nothing has been collaborated!

Why does every story in my newfeed have a liberal slant to the Supreme Court hearings? I would like to think that your newsfeed would be fair and balanced, but literally every other story about the current hearing is from a liberal based website with negative comments about conservatives. I would expect you to present both sides. I have used Yahoo for many years and you are my favorite search engine, but I will switching to something else soon. I am tired of the liberal agenda in your newsfeed.

Dear Yahoo,

I have received an email from a yahoo based email address (). He is asking for bitcoins. Email is reproduced below for necessary action at your end please. I do not have any yahoo email address. But below email was sent to me at my official email.

""I know 963534 is your password. Lets get straight to the point. You don't know me and you are probably wondering why you're getting this e-mail? No one has compensated me to check about you.

actually, I setup a software on the X streaming (porn) web site and do you know what, you visited this web site to experience fun (you know what I mean). When you were viewing videos, your browser started functioning as a RDP having a keylogger which provided me access to your display and web camera. after that, my software gathered all your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as email . After that I created a video. First part shows the video you were watching (you've got a fine taste ; )), and next part shows the recording of your web camera, yeah it is u.

You have two different solutions. Why dont we explore these types of possibilities in details:

Very first alternative is to neglect this e mail. In this instance, I am going to send your tape to every single one of your contacts and thus think about the humiliation you will get. Not to forget in case you are in a romance, precisely how it would affect?

Number 2 option should be to give me $4000. Let us describe it as a donation. Subsequently, I will instantaneously delete your video. You can go on with daily life like this never took place and you never will hear back again from me.

You will make the payment via Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search for "how to buy bitcoin" in Google).

BTC Address to send to: 1DtBWdZQcgBRdQtPma5w1jfDUP2fWvABJS
[CASE SENSITIVE copy and paste it]

If you have been wondering about going to the law enforcement, surely, this email cannot be traced back to me. I have taken care of my actions. I am not attempting to demand so much, I wish to be rewarded.

You now have one day in order to make the payment. I've a unique pixel in this e-mail, and at this moment I know that you have read this e mail. If I do not get the BitCoins, I will, no doubt send your video recording to all of your contacts including family members, co-workers, and so on. However, if I do get paid, I will destroy the recording right away. If you need proof, reply Yes then I definitely will send out your video recording to your 11 contacts. It's a non:negotiable offer, so please do not waste my personal time and yours by replying to this message. ""

Yahoo has started over the last week to bounce all email coming from mail-01.yourhosting.link / 209.147.116.195.

If you go to MX Toolbox you will see this domain/IP is NOT on any blacklist and it has been monitored for over 6 months and has never appeared on any blacklist.

The bounce message claims:

421 4.7.0 [TSS04] Messages from 209.147.116.195 temporarily deferred due
to user complaints

However, this is coming back to 7 different domains and there are no traces that any complaint was ever filed.

Additionally, it is not resetting it is getting worse.

We need more details as to why this is going on, or we will have to start recommending to clients to stop using Yahoo Mail.

Dear Sirs,

Could you remove this report immediately which is false and has no basis at all. If you require any further information please let me know.
