  2. Ads provider (Google?) is giving bottom of the barrel ads with nudity

    Yahoo, this is a really ****** ad. You should talk to your ad provider; they are giving you the bottom of the barrel. I'm happy to share a screenshot - the advertiser is **** Shoes, and one is an image with heels, the other is one of a woman's bare bottom. This doesn't match Yahoo's brand identity or audience.

  3. Stop Showing Inappropriate Ads

    The ads that you display on your website are disgusting. I get that you are trying to have people sign up for the "ad free" version, but showing nothing but adult content in your ads is inappropriate. There are children that use this service.

  5. Ads hiding as emails- phishing and hijacking

    You have ads hiding as emails. And when you click on them to delete them you get hijacked. This is terrible!

    What are you going to do about this mess?

    Hi Matias, thank you for your feedback. Yes, we aware of some of these ads, but what would be super helpful, are screenshots of these ads so we can get who the advertiser is and share with our ads team. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

  6. Eliminate the ads that says "3 MESSAGES" - it is a scam that takes over the screen

    I clicked on this ad - I thought it was an email. I didn't even click on a link.
    My screen was immediately filled with content that my computer had been infected.
    There was also a blaring beeping sound and a warning to not shut down my computer or there would be further damage. I closed my screen but the sound persisted. This was a scary situation for me since I didn't know how to get it off the screen and was 100% sure it was a SCAM.

  7. SERIOUS PROBLEM -- SECURITY ISSUE

    Some of the links in Yahoo mail and some of the ads trigger a "Helpdesk Windows Support" take over of the browser. The take over changes browser settings.

    One more thing, there is no longer a clear way to report security issues to Yahool

  8. Blocking certain in line ads

    I would like a way to block or remove unwanted types of ads such as dating apps and that type of social media. I do not mine ads, just do not care to see certain types of ads I find offensive or not useful to me.

  10. New Scam on Ad Bar

    I have an 'Ad' that appears as an email from 'Sariyah Clarke' and seems to overlay a legitimate ad. I cannot do anything with it like delete or block. Selecting the fake box causes an emergency computer hacked Screen with all the bells and whistles ... do not turn off ... go here .... call this number .... this is urgent .... I can't get oput of it other than powering the computer down. Even the three finger salute doesn't interfere.

  13. Ad takes me to a site designed to scam me

    In my Yahoo Mail today there was an ad listed with a Man's name and some thing about "Senior Discounts" or other such click bait. It then take me to a page that says "Yahoo! Account Security" suspicious activity detected...Click here - if you close the dialog box it beeps and the "Screen" although only that web page fills up with random popups. This is obviously a scam but it is being pushed by Yahoo! Mail.

    Yes, we do have a few ads in our app, but we also offer an ad-free experience (like many apps today) if you upgrade to Yahoo Mail Plus, but of course it's not mandatory. We will also share your feedback with the right team. Thanks.

  16. Opt out of specific advertisers

    I would like to Opt OUT of receiving ad's from certain companies like McAfee. I have had the WORST time removing this product from PC's over the years. I remove it and it pops back up! I find it invasive just like a virus. Other companies are also ones I will never want, and I don't want to click on one by accident.

  17. Better filter malicious advertising

    I clicked on an email that was actually an advertisement in the email list.

    When I went to close the page that opened, it did one of those things that takes over the screen and warns you falsely of a virus, and I had to shut off my computer to regain control.

    If Yahoo Mail advertising is literally taking people to scammers, this is a very bad thing.

    Thanks Eric for letting us know! Definitely want to report those kinds of ads as they shouldn't be in our platforms. Next time, can you take a screenshot of those ads and send them to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com? Thank you!

  18. email ads

    We were just migrated from Xfinity email to Yahoo. Ads are showing up in our email which we do not want and want to delete. There does not appear to be a way to delete unless you pay a monthly fee to be ad-free. This is totally unacceptable. We do not want an inbox full of ads. We will quit Xfinity and yahoo if the only way to not have an inbox full of ads to pay a monthly fee.
