    Thanks for letting us know! Can you please send us a screenshot of these ads? These should not be on our platforms and we'd love to get a screenshot so we can share with the right team. Please send to oasis.mail.feedback@yahooinc.com. Thanks!

    As a result of one of your adds that appears in my inbox, I needed to turn off my laptop and reboot. The ad said "1 new message", so I thought i had a new message and didn't notice that it was a line in my inbox that is advertising. The entire 'ad' was that..."1 new message", clearly an attempt to snag the unaware. That you would accept an 'ad' like that is highly unethical. When I clicked on it, it took over my computer, claiming that I had a virus. So I powered off my computer and when I powered up, it had lost control. Don't allow ads from such low lifes as these fake virus companies.
