I HACE SCOURED YAHOO HELP AND CONTACT AND SECURITY TIPS AND EEEVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRYYYYY USELESS PAGE THAT GIVE NO WAY TO ACTUALLY CONTACT A HUMAN BEING AT CORPORATE WHEN THE SITE GETS BUGGY IN SUPER DANGEROUS WAYS!!!
After YEARS off and on with a dozen or more different phones and 4 different browsers on each, privacy tabs, regular, cookies, cache, Java, desktop, mobile, McAfee, Kaspersky, Avast, AVG, Cheetah, Safe Mode, BitMobile, nothing has ever STOPPED that rerouted spam/phish/virus/whatever-techie-name-for-the-hack-bug-thing -- I finally FINALLY figured out IT IS ONLY YAHOO FINANCE THAT IS AFFECTED
oh, and that when I try to use the Help/ Contact Us FAIL [page reads : "Need assistance with a Yahoo product? Let's see how we can help.
Tell us your Yahoo email address and product." With dropdown menu and text box to enter yahoo id email address, and then a Verify I Am Not A Robot box to loop a mini-game of hidden pictures or I Spy or whatever...
Well, THAT page DOES NOT WORK EITHER!!! Do all that correct in full and click Continue or Submit or whatever, and (again, regardless of which of the above-mentioned variables is active or not, applied, not, permissioned, not, etc.) regardless of what option is picked from the dropdown limited and inapplicable choices for what Help is Needed With or What Do You Need To Contact Us About or whatever the lingo, doesn't matter, not one choice changes the outcome over the others, no matter what I only get a white blank page that has the Yahoo logo in the corner and bold-type "Ooops!" ]THANK YOU SWEET WONDERFUL STRANGER, YOU POOR DEAR FOR YOUR HEADACHE AND AFFLICTION, SUFFERING THE SAME B***S*** WITH YAHOO FINANCE AS I HAVR BEEN PLAGUED WITG AND FELT TERRIFIED AND THREATENED BY --- BUT THANK YOU, Maurice Robichaud FOR BEING MY ONLY VERIFICATION, THAT IT ****IS**** INDEED STRICTLY EVERY PAGE AND ARTICLE AND EVERY BIT YAHOO FINANCE SOLELY AND DISCRIMINATELY AND NOT ANYTHING ELSE ON MY DEVICES!!!
THANK YOU, YAHOO USER WHO POSTED THIS FOR HELPING TO EASE THE CRAZY THIS HAS BEEN DRIVING ME!!!
THANK YOU FOR THIS POST BEING THE CLOSEST THING I HAVE FOUND TO AN ANSWERsad, that your post is the only solace and closest thing to an answer I feel I'll ever find, but I take comfort in knowing IT IS YAHOO FINANCE THAT IS THE PROBLEM
Thank you
Depressingly, as TERRIFYING as that whole crazy Facebook-virus-warning-contest-scam looking buggy page is -
AND the fact that IT IS NOW SOOOOOOOK BAD I CANNOT VIEW OR EVEN HAVE OPEN ONE SINGLE YAHOO FINANCE PAGE FOR EVEN 2 MINUTES BEFORE GOING VIRUS-WARNING-BUGGY-RE-RE-ROUTED-BROWSER-PAGE-TAKEOVER-SPASTIC
... it was only made ALL THE WORSE by bugs and fails that makes Yahoo Help utterly useless -

When I have a number of browser tabs open only Yahoo pages jump by themselves to dangerous websites!!! NO OTHER SITES DO THIS!!! ONLY YAHOO.
I am running McAfee and I have no viruses or malware as was suggested the last time I reported this. This is a problem specific to Yahoo.
You are under attack again and you are putting customers at risk.
I now avoid Yahoo pages and have found alternate financial sites.
This is sad because Yahoo Finance used to be my favorite. I would recommend it to others.
NOT ANY MORE, BECAUSE YAHOO IS COMPROMISED.Again, no other pages do this ever, only Yahoo.
