How do i report email scams?
-
someone tried to reset my password today, i received confirmation of this through all three ways; yahoo email, other email and a text to my cell phone. There was also an email from my log-in request yahoo.com. whenI click on thelink it takes me to a web page that LOOKS like the yahoo login page, but doesn't have the security icon I set up and the web siteit takes me to is neverbeforgotten.com. When I viewed the email on my computer I also noted that it didn't have the yahoo icon next to it. How do I let YAHOO know of this issue?

Answer:
Thanks for posting up the information on that scammer. Making a scammer's scam googlable on every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find is a great way to slow that scammer down when a suspicious potential victim goes looking for information, finds your post containing the name the scammer is using, his email address, phone number and the emails themselves and then that potential victim does not become a scam victim because you took the time "get the word out". Thanks!! Wasting a scammer's time legally and safely is called "scambaiting". If you google that word, you will find sites where you can read scambaits, post up the emails and email addresses of scammers, post up a fake website, read up on how to alert a hosting company that they are hosting a fake website, ask questions and learn all about the hobby of scambaiting.

Fill out the Yahoo Help form http://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL&page=contact and they will connect you with a live online support agent. It may take a minute or two to connect to them so be patient Make sure your alternate address is still yours, and make sure your wifi is password protected so nobody else is accessing your account
