The last number of months I have been getting Spam from drug companies from all over the world. I mark them spam, block the addresses, and yet, still get the same ones over and over. Your spam guard either isn’t doing its job or it just isn’t effective. Please upgrade and make blocking just a click away. Thank you.

A few years ago I received an email using the logos of eBay. I knew it was phishing, but was SO ticked off that I looked up ALL of the IP addresses from the full headers. I then sent emails to the webmasters of each domain informing them that a) they had a phisher/spammer using their network & b) this phisher/spammer was violating copyright by using the logos of eBay in their solictation. One of my emails was sent on to the police in Spain. Several months later, the Spanish police opened a fraud investigation and busted the ring.

Same thing as Valerie posted on Oct. 4th–Something gets in my yahoo address book and sends spam messages to everyone in my address book using my email address as sender and deletes all names in my address book when it does also. Any one have an answer whats going on or how to get rid of?? HELP HELP

i received this as a email. “baby please please talk2me” now my husband uses this email box for him self. i was really concern when i seen this as his past isn’t the cleanest ( with women).later that night i went on to yahoo IM this is what was said:
You currently appear offline to melodymex4.
husbands site name: hey you
melodymex4: i’ve been trying to talk to u 4 months, nothing is working
melodymex4: i found this cool site where we can chatt
melodymex4: I really am in love with you and i want to explain but just trust me
melodymex4: i dont’ know if my last message went though, if not then go to my profile and you can see the website im talking about.
melodymex4: its not dirty… i quit all that.

i still don’t know if this was spam, and i would like to know where i can go to find out. thank you ..blues

Why is it, and what do you do, when you are getting email spam from yourself, selling money, sex, pills, etc. I mean, this is coming from my own email address and I didn’t send it!

Mr C,
I have the same exact problem, and have NEVER been on a porn site ever, not a 48 year old married lady, no thank you! Even my Messinger box is filled with them and I have a Premium account also.

All of my trying to get help from Yahoo has done nothing but lead me to the Q&A pages….I have my blocked addys totaled out, and still they get through. I can not get a refund on this Paid account that my friends can not get through cause all I seem to do is wipe out whole pages.

I am going back to Gmail and other addys, but is hard after 4 years using the one account for everything, even all of my groups.

And how was I not invited to this new forum meeting? I have two premium Yahoo accounts but no invite?

Me too. This yahoo dude told me to check out this site for the answers. He must work for the spammers. I’m not new to this org. but the filters are not working properly and I’ve recieved 300 plus porn and lottery spam within the last week or so. This is unacceptable and someone from Yahoo should get on the stick and deal with the issues here. Where’s Mark when we need him? Come on guys work the problem. Give us a resasonable solution to all this spam getting thru your filters. And don’t send our contacts email(banks,credit cards and friends) to spam, which they have done to me as well, and keep the porn sites in my inbox.
