In relation to the Adoos Auction Site thread:

Vital_Spark_2

I contacted Yahoo about the :spam: mail I received, as the sender's e-mail address was brighthullz@yahoo.ca. I received the mail tagged on at the end of this spiel: copied and pasted.



:think: Wouldn't you like to know what action had been taken against the offender, if someone attempted to scam you out of £2400? I know I do and I hope that it involves contacting the police. :wall:

If any of you care to take a moment :grouphug: (strength in numbers), would you mind contacting Yahoo asking that they break their rules regarding NOT disclosing what was involved in the handling of any matter of security? Surely they should recognise that this would make customers feel a bit more secure that something was indeed being done. :doh:

For all I know, Yahoo customer Services have said, "Oops! Oh well, at least she didn't get stung"

"Hello,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mail.

In this particular case, we have taken appropriate action against the
Yahoo! account in question that was reported for fraudulent activities,
as per our Terms of Service (TOS). Please know that Yahoo! is unable to
disclose the action taken on another user's account with a third party.
We are not able to make exceptions to this rule.

If in the future you receive an unwanted email message that appears to
derive from a Yahoo! Mail account, please include the following in your
report of mail abuse to assist us in a prompt and full evaluation:

1) Original subject line -- please forward the email with a subject
identical to the original subject.

2) Complete headers -- email programs often display abbreviated headers. To learn how to display the full headers in a Yahoo! Mail account,
please visit the Yahoo! Mail Help Desk at:

http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/config/config-11.html

If you are using a different client to read your email, please consult
your email program's help system for more information on viewing full
headers.

3) Complete message body -- please include the complete, unedited
content of the email message in question. Please do not change or edit
the message in any way.

If reports of email abuse are missing any one of these three items, it
may take longer for the Yahoo! Mail Abuse Team to properly investigate
and take appropriate action. We appreciate your efforts in reporting
this abuse to Yahoo!. Due to security restrictions of our custom
messaging system, we request that you simply forward a copy of the
message on to us as opposed to sending it in an attachment.


Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.
