Yahoo!
Reviews and Complaints

I am complaining because of a "Yahoo" survey as soon as I opened my Yahoo mail today offering a free gift upon completion. There was no free gift but only two things I was asked to pay shipping and handling on which gave me a trial membership that I had to cancel and then ask for the gifts to be cancelled and all shipping charges refunded to my account.

If this happens again, I will forfeit my Yahoo account and notify all friends of family of this event!

I am VERY DISAPPOINTED IN YAHOO!

New York City, 4-6-17 approx. 10:15 am

There's a click-bait advertiser who go by the monicker "Perfectly timed photos.. enough said" I hope you will banish from your homepage.

Please see screen-grab attached.

They consistently display close-ups from photos of female athletes insinuating an offensive, degrading and creepy sexual aspect totally out of context with the actual circumstances of the occasion. In the workplace this is deemed sexual harassment, so why on the Yahoo home-page is it apparently the accepted norm?

People who want a cheap thrill have ready-access to online pornography, and that's fine, that's a reciprocal business, but there should be no place for this sort of misogyny anywhere. let alone in a public setting.

Many thanks

Adds like these are sexist and demeaning. It implies that the humiation of women is something to use as advertising. Do you think an ad would be run of a man who's dick was swinging in the wind for all to laugh at. No way. stop using the objectification of women and the implication that they should be humiliated by there privates being potentially exposed in normal activities in advertising. These pop up everywhere on yahoo and makes me sick to know that you not only condone the but sponsor the humiliation of women in advertising.

I'm starting a campaign against this sort of advertsing and I hope Yahoo gets major lawsuits, boycots and loss of support because of it.

I have been using this email for years now ...however I no longer have access to it, each time I try to login it directs me to and email I have no clue about which I cannot access either
The email looks like this k********[protected]@yahoo.come
I don't know that email...I want this resolved as soon as possible I use this email as my brim Aryan email for my Facebook account which is can't change.

Hello,
I am writing because I am very upset that Yahoo is putting spoilers in their headlines as a way to get readers to click on them. For example, Walking Dead. I had not seen the finale yet and Yahoo put in the headlines "Sasha's Fate..." I knew Sasha died the very next day after the season finale because Yahoo had to announce it via their headlines. Is there any way that writers can have consideration for those who are not as "up to date" as others? This is extremely frustrating as it is not the first time Yahoo has done this and it has gotten so bad that my husband and other family members won't even open up Yahoo the next day because they know Yahoo will post spoilers as the headlines.

I am asking that Yahoo be more considerate and not put spoilers in their headlines. I am pretty sure writers can find other ways to make people click.

Thank you,

Gianni Coleman

Since March 20, 2017, I have not been able to access my email account with Yahoo. A message states to reset password, but I do not have that option to reset. Besides this complaint, I have sent a letter to Yahoo (no response). Verizon has assisted to no avail. My email address is listed below.

Another Yahoo group is using our URL in its group name without the permission of our organization, Metro Marine Modellers, in Toronto Canada. Our official Yahoo Group is found at https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MetroMarineModellersSail. The group using our URL is called Ontario Model Yachts (https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/Metromarine/info). This latter group was founded by a former member who has since left the club. Its continued use of metromarine in the group URL is causing a great deal of confusion among our members and the public.

We are asking Yahoo to contact the owner of the Ontario Model Yachts group to instruct him to cease using Metromarine in his group's URL.

Please advise whether Yahoo will agree to this request or what steps are required to get this matter resolved.

My name is Traci Moore and I have an email with yahoo that i have had for several years. I use to love looking at Yahoo's home page and reading the articles but as of lately I absolutely hate your page. Most of your page is a back lash at President Trump and his staff. You only post one side of the story and I am sick of it. Your site should be an unbiased site but its just the other. Whether we like it or not Trump is our President and He should be respected. Shame on Yahoo for the biased coverage. Very disappointed...

My account is hacked twice or three times a day and I have been changing passwords like crazy (two - three times a day).

There are two IP adresses unkown to me :
-one in Montreal (I will send the IP as soon as the account in breached again)
-one in Sherbrooke - Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada

I received an email notification informing me that my email account was logged in from UK. I am in INDIA. Hence it is obvious that someone else logged into my account.

I was surprised to see that the notification about different location log in was deleted by somebody.

I want you to investigate and find out the IP address from where the UK Login was made so that if necessary I can refer the matter to INDIA / UK police. I also want to know if my account e-mails were copied / manipulated / deleted from that or any other IP address.

How in the world is pornography like this acceptable to post on the front page? My 10 year old son asked me about "what does going down on him mean?" What type people actually post this, and how is this acceptable? I want this post taken down as it is crap! This should not be anywhere accessible to anyone under 17, how dare you guys let this post!

To Whom It May Concern:

As I have a mail account with Yahoo, I frequently read Yahoo news. I am a proofreader by profession and very often encounter spelling and word usage errors in your news items. So much so, errors are to be expected when reading your news. With so much press scrutiny currently, please find the time to proof your texts before publishing.

Sincerely,

Julia

The 'Report' function on users comments is broken and has been for some time. 'An error occurred' is not an acceptable reason for not accepting reports when trying to submit a report on obviously offensive, often clearly racist, insulting language being used. There would appear to be no moderation in effect and the comments platform is being overrun by far right bigots. Look at ANY news report on immigrants or foreign nationals and you will see. For a global news and email provider, your lack of vigilance is shocking. Are you owned by Murdoch, by any chance?
The attached examples are from this news page - and it is only a snapshot of how far riddled Yahoo comments has been with this type of enflamatory xenophobic hysteria:
https://uk.yahoo.com/news/boy-one-dies-girl-critically-080718618.html

I have contacted you previously, but with no reply. I'm writing to complain about the complete lack of moderation on Yahoo news message boards. The vast majority of responses are shockingly racist, xenophobic, homophobic or sexist comments. I feel increasingly upset by the crude level of these comments, and am totally amazed that there is nobody responsible for moderating the content of these message boards.

I would like to ask why this is, and how you can continue to take such an irresponsible stance? It seems totally ridiculous that we are expected just to accept this, and that Yahoo just remains oblivious to what is going on. I've had a Yahoo account for years, and it would be very impractical to move elsewhere, but I feel really uncomfortable using a mail website that seems to welcome and celebrate those with vile, extremist views. I would be surprised, but pleased, if you actually responded to me. In the meantime I will be looking for some way to complain about your company elsewhere, as I am sure that the way you are operating is pretty unacceptable and should be challenged.

Can you give us the option of reading news stories (or not) at your webpage? Many of the stories, including the headlines, are so horrific that I have stopped going to your webpage. Dead babies...severed heads...kidnapped fiancees etc. Please consider this. I understand headlines "sell" but you have lost this customer. Possibly you can add options that state "I wish to view the news" or "I don't wish to view the news." There are many topics of interest that people will choose (finance, health, sports, cooking, religion, arts, education, science, spirituality, politics, etc. that people would love to view.
You won't lose readership...you might even gain if you are perceived as being thoughtful of your readers. This is especially the case where impressionable children are concerned. I very much hope you will consider. Yahoo could become the "thinking person's search engine".
Thank you.

Yahoo will not allow me to access my email due to me changing my phone number... a yahoo rep told me to go ### myself. This is a email I've had over 5 years I have very important information going to that email I plan on taking this complaint as far as I can my name is Latricia Blair my number is [protected] in reference to this email address [protected]@yahoo.com

I have been using Yahoo 7 finance to check asx share prices for many years. The site has always been easy to use however the site has been changed in the last few days. It is something of a hotpotch of advertising and shares.

Not all of the share prices are available and only a limited list of gainers is available while strangely the full list in the old format is available on the mobile phone. Date and time details are also lacking.
