Answer:
Are you sure it is your fiance? There are many ways to 'steal' accounts, especially if the name is easy to guess, and the password and Secret Questions and Answers are easy to guess. Although there is a possibility you were 'hacked', it is far more likely that your address was compromised by one of the powerful spam bot networks. They can also 'spoof' the addresses in the From: area to make it more likely that they will be opened. Remember all those who use the To: or CC: heading rather than BCC: for addresses? Remember all those who forward e-mails with countless addresses still in them? They open all those addresses to spammers - all it takes is one infected computer down the line somewhere! Merely changing your password will not be enough - your account has been seriously compromised, and more of this type of letter will keep happening. Carefully read the technical advice given by Leo Notenbloom in his columns - they are the best, most-detailed I have ever read. Read especially #2 and #4 BEFORE you set up a new safe account! Yes, you will probably chose to open a new account, and transferring your contacts and saved mail is time-consuming, but merely changing your password is not sufficient. You might wish to mail yourself copies of very important e-mails you saved as well, but that is time-consuming too. * AFTER you have read the advice, and copied your Contacts list, you should use the new account to contact everyone with your new address, including your name and 'new address', as well as an apology to them. Urge ALL of them to use BCC: and delete all addresses when forwarding mail too! * * When you add another name to the present account you will not lose anything - contacts, address list. Send an email to all your contacts with the new email address. If someone sends it to the old e-mail address, it will go to the same Inbox so you don't lose any messages. * *Click the link below to get an extra email address for your existing account. Use it just as you would for your primary address (which of course you can still use). You can send and receive email from either address from the same Inbox. http://edit.yahoo..com/config/list_alias%E2%80%A6 * * If you want to make your secondary email address as your primary address, you can click on Options > Mail Options > Account Information > Password again. Once in your account you will see E-mail Information. Click to designate which one you want as your primary, then click SAVE. * ( * edited from answer by Trooper 63 * )
