Im in the uk. How can i get this person stopped as they must be saying stuff to others too!! Really really angry and a little shaken too, you dont expect a stranger to say this to you!!!

Answer:
Here's how you do this: 1. Forward the message to the Answers Team at [email protected] (note the "e" has been left out) with the subject "Threatening email from another user." Be sure to give them the details on what was written. 2. Go to their profile and click Block. This action will prevent the abuser from sending you any more messages and "troll" through your posted content. Warning: You must never respond back to the abuser at all costs and harass them. This can result in the suspension of your Answers account. Just report the matter to the Answers Team and allow them-along with Customer Care-to take care of the problem for you. By doing as I instructed, this will get the other user's account permanently suspended in no time flat.

You should change the settings on your yahoo account so it's not as easy to find your email address. Or, just tell him to go f*ck himself.

bloody yanks, just ignore it, try and find him on here via his user name and see if theres a report option on his profile
You could reply telling him exactly what you think of him - then block him so he can't email you again. Don't take it personally the anonymity of the internet is perfect for jerks and cowards. What ever you do, you should block him so he can email you again. I get hate mail sometimes, please don't let it leave you shaken. He/She is an idiot.

Well, this is the internet so you should be wary but not too bothered by all the crazy lunatics

At the top of the page click Edit then Select All. Right click on the message and select copy then Quickly click the Report Abuse icon. In the comment section right click and select Paste and report that foul mouth individual.

If you have received the e-mail in your main e-mail ie B T or Talk Talk then just move it into spam and delete it and then also go to your yahoo answers and change your privacy settings and hopefully that will stop this person contacting you.

Unfortunately, lots of people get put down and cussed out on Y!A. Either it was someone who disagreed with something you said in an answer or question, or it was someone who randomly sends out e-mails like that to strangers. But I think it's most likely they targeted you; they mentioned your kids, so obviously they read your profile info before e-mailing you. If I were you, I would just delete it and forget about it. I understand you wanting to get back at them, but there's nothing else you can really do, except respond and tell them off. You can't report someone for sending you an e-mail. I know it's really hurtful and shakening, but if someone was really going to do that, do you think they'd take the time and let you know? Besides, this person probably has no idea where you live. Like I said, they probably just disagreed with something you said. I mean REALLY disagreed, and they wanted to get something stirred up. Or maybe they just wanted to scare you. Ignoring it is the best idea. Someone like that isn't even worth fretting over, agreed? Being a Y!A answers user, I've been called names on here that I've never been called in real life (at least not to my face) all because some douche bag didn't agree with my opinion. It's hard to get over it. Y!A is a place to express your opinions, but unfortunately, some people aren't mature enough to handle that. They think that they are have the right to express their opinions, but no one else does, unless they are in agreement. People can't do that in public, because they could get in trouble. But they take avantage of the internet, because they can insult people all they want and get away with it, most of the time. Just remove the disgusting thing from your inbox, and go on with your life. The person won't even be sure you got it if you don't respond, and that could spoil his fun. And if this person persists, maybe you should consider changing your e-mail to Private on the Edit Preferences page, so random people won't be contacting you. And be sure to block anyone who sends you e-mails like that, if possible.

Send an email to at [email protected] the missing "E"is correct. In the subject put Threatening email. Post the message and send it.
