Ads with fake checkboxes are deceptive!
I've noticed a lot more ads in the email folder/list view that have fake checkboxes. If you are trying to clean up emails, it is easy to accidentally click on one of these ads and open a new window/tab. I see this as a deceptive practice on the part of Yahoo Mail because it creates a perception that a customer is purposefully going to that ad. I recommend that you remove the fake checkboxes on ads. Thanks for listening!

The top email (ad) looks like a real email with a check box which is deceiving. Please remove this box.

There are phishing ads being embedded into my inbox with names and no checkbox option in hopes that we will click the link. It is also changing the title so that it appears to be a personal email. There needs to be a fix for this.

STOP allowing ANY ADs appearing mixed in with my emails (Inbox, Deleted Items, Folders, etc) that have an image of a selection box on the left-hand side. They look TOO much like a valid email, but accidently clicking on them as I try to select emails to delete, inevitably opens a malicious website that, thank goodness, my anti-malware software has protected me from.
But....WHY are you allowing them to attempt to fool us like this?
