Yahoo password changed
I received an email from yahoo saying my password had been changed. At
first I thought this was a scam like all the bank emails requesting details. It was only when I tried to logon to yahoo, I was told my password was incorrect. I have tried to retrieve my password by answering various questions, but it tells me the info is wrong. Has anyone encounted this before? Has someone stolen my ID? Yahoo help seems to be useless, and sending emails to their abuse just gets bounced back. Any help would be apreciated. |

Re: Yahoo password changed
You are just a F***ing Dick head
The email is simple enough. WTF does this mean ??? > Did ya get the e-Mail via that alternate e-Mail addy? Did you use a sock- > nym for the alternate e-Mail addy? Yahoo send an email to your secondary address as conformation, and to highlight problems (as in my case) when it's not me that has altered it. What bit do you not understand?
