Yahoo Has Sold Us To Spammers/Corrective Action

Unknown

Yahoo has done it again! This time, they have sold us to spammers and

reset all of our email, snail mail address and even telephone numbers to the

evil spammers. As I understand it, this applies to everybody who has a Yahoo

account. If you receive this message by e-mail and don't have a Yahoo

account then don't worry about it.



On March 28, Yahoo! Groups set everyone's account to the "Have your

advertisers send me mail" option no matter what folks had previously elected

as their preference. Because this has gone from an opt-in service to an

opt-out one, if you are a member of a Yahoo! Groups-based email list (or, I

assume, if you have a Yahoo! e-mail account) and have no desire to surrender

your inbox to a deluge of mail from Yahoo!'s advertisers, you have to tell

them that you don't want this mail within 60 days -- if you don't say

anything, they will just send it.

Here's how to do it:

- Go to Yahoo Groups (http://groups.yahoo.com) and sign in.

- Go to My Groups and click on Account Info, verify your password if it asks

you to, which will bring up your Yahoo ID card.

- Click on 'Edit Your Marketing Preferences' and change all those Yes's back

to No's. There are something like a dozen choices to make so look the page

over carefully from top to bottom.

- Click 'Save Changes.' With any luck, that should do the deed until next

time these lowlifes figure another way to get at us.
