    STOP UNSUBCRIBING ME FROM LISTS THAT I DID NOT UNSUBSRIBE FROM!!!! I should be able to subsribe to anything I wish to. Yahoo has no right to decide for me and unsubsribe me from lists and block them with out my permission. So sick of this ****

    I repeatedly get a spam email with the phrase:
    "You're about to delete all your contact(s)"
    I have set numerous filters to send these directly to trash, yet they continually show up.
    This is an attempt at identity theft and hijacking computer equipment.
    It appears Yahoo is in collusion with these players. Everyone agree?

  • Anil Fernandes commented  ·   ·  Report

    if the email address is saved as a contact, why does yahoo still move it to spam, I have to keep making the emails (which are in my contact) as not spam. Email address in contacts should not be marked as spam

    How do we report and stop the hundreds of scam e-mails I get every day?

  • Neal Monsour commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have repeatedly gotten this subject line from a spammer:
    You're about to permanently delete all your contact (s)

    I have blocked this key phrase many many times in the additional settings, yet I continue to receive these attempts at hacking and identity theft. Yahoo refuses to block this.

    If anyone else has this issue then if should also be reported to law enforcement or possible legal action.

    What did y'all do to your Spam filter. Very few spam emails populated my inbox previously. Now I get at least 30 SPAM emails a day. I mark them as spam, but it doesn't do any good. Turn the SPAM filter back on!

  • RM Hubbard commented  ·   ·  Report

    Put a lot more $ towards Spam catching. It's unfathomable how far behind Yahoo is compared to competitors.

    As a Company You 'YAHOO' - Simply DON'T CARE or ACT WITH PRINICIPLES putting ADVERT REVENUES AHEAD of OFFENSIVE ADs and SPAM - YOU ARE CORRUPT in NATURE - PERIOD

  • rick lewis commented  ·   ·  Report

    So I get 30 spam ,scammer emails daily . I go in and tell it to block all info from this sender . Immediately , within seconds , I get another about the same exact scam , the same exact page but with a different address as sender . What this tells me is that YOU are the ones doing this . Stop sending me this **** . I NEVER , ever had this problem until Goggle took over . Now it is nonstop . To make it worse , I give that email to no one . It is a gaming email .

    I had over 30 spam emails today so far. I am going to gmail if you don't get a handle on this.

    Spam is CRAZY!! Please allow users to block what is in the Header. dkim=perm_fail; spf=none

    Spam control is not working. Multitudes of junk mail coming through.

  • Linda M Chambré commented  ·   ·  Report

    Why are you bombarding me with spam email? This is ridiculous. Stop it. Your improvement isn't an improvement at all it's a detriment..

  • Harry Joseph commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not sure why I should jump to the Ad-less Yahoo when I see how they handle SPAM email

  • Harry Joseph commented  ·   ·  Report

    Do you do anything about SPAM ? For the past 3 months i have been diverting spam emails to the spam folder but this does not seem to help ?

  • R Ruthart commented  ·   ·  Report

    For years I rarely got a 'real' spam message. NOW, for the last month or so, I am getting TEN OR MORE spam messages EVERY DAY! And yes, most of them seem to be ****!

    WHAT HAPPENED YAHOO? Obviously there was some kind of viable spam filter before, so what happened? DO SOMETHING - FILTER THESE DISGUSTING EMAILS!

  • Jenny Maret commented  ·   ·  Report

    I have tried to block these, but they come back far worse,... I have tried to get Yahoo to put them straight into trash, but that is not happening. Yahoo' is n doing what it says it will do. I am a good customer and want to continue using Yahoo. The ads are O.K, but the *********** is not !
