Yahoo!
Reviews and Complaints

Holy crap, I have been a customer for years, changing my home page to yahoo.com, I have a few email accounts but lately they have changed there pages. email is slow and when you follow links on there home page you get hammered with ad's, not just the pesky ones but whole pages launch. I'm giving them 3 more months then I'm switching to someone else. The new design makes you launch into another page if you want to read more than 5 line of txt, not cool.

It is appalling that in almost every story in yahoo's news feed there are spelling and grammatical errors so blatant it can only mean that no editing or checking has been done by anyone on yahoo's extensive staff. If you can't spell you shouldn't be writing! At least have someone check the work before publishing it. Sometimes it's completely unreadable. It's not difficult - even this complaints dialogue box has a spell check!
I am also so tired of clicking on a link in the news feed only to be taken to a completely unrelated news story, or better still to this lovely message:
"oooops! Sorry we couldn't find the requested page... Now searching for your results!"
This is still popping up on the only story I had any interest in today - the solar flare images from nasa.
Thank you for reading my rant. Sorry for the "yelling".

To my esteem friends, family members and business associates, please note that my yahoo mail account was compromised on the 2nd of April 2016 by fraud stars operating from Ghana. I attach below copy of notification mail from Yahoo notifying me of the hacking. Please kindly dis regard any mail emanating from my box also avoid not opening the box as to avoid compromise of your mail box.
Thank you.
Christian.

I am complaining about my email account. I am continually bombarded with adds, it is so bad I can't type email. I tried Xing out the adds and it said I could pay 5.00 monthly to get them blocked. Well I didn't request them in the first place and will be damned if I pay to get rid of them.
AOL or Gmail here I come.

3/26/16

Sirs,
My email stopped working on 3/23/16 with no explanation. I know my password but it would not work. I contacted yahoo by their number that was recently changed and it states they will not except calls. I went on their website sending messages to please call me because my acct is locked out. I called [protected] and [protected] with no results.

not only am I unemployed and looking for work, all the employers were contacting me through my email with Yahoo which I can't get into. I also have a major lawsuit out which all my contacts and information is in my Yahoo acct. It is pertinent that these people contact me so I can achieve my email and they refuse. I am very upset about their relationships with customers in this demeanor. My email address is [protected]@yahoo.com that is not working.

My phone number which I left for Yahoo to no avail is [protected]. I gave them a b/u email which the message from Yahoo says don't exist. I even left my home phone number as a b/u but Yahoo refuses to call. What should I do next? p.s the website took my email address but not my password. I tried to put it in over 20 times. then it locked me out of my acct for 12 hrs and I tried the next day to know avail.

Concerned customer Toni Beck

Yahoo allows its Advertisers to deceive the Public, by listing the " Bait and Switch ", method of their Product/Products and or Service as appearing as a News Item, once the Consumer reaches their Wed Page no information as to the stated News Item on Home Page is given only a Ad for their Product / Service.

Why is this allowed ?

I have not been able to access my business email account for a very long time -- embarrassingly long. I finally called them to cancel. But the credit card information had changed so they refused to cancel it and said I should do PW recovery so I could cancel myself. I explained that prior attempts to recover had failed. Of course it failed again. Then they asked for the address when I registered the domain name which I provided and it still would not match. Finally, called the credit card company to see if they had the prior history for what number it might have been and that worked! So now we will see if they actually stop the billing. But what is clear is that Yahoo Business Services makes it extremely difficult to cancel which is part of their scam to pay rather than cancel.

I will watch to see if they actually stop the billing payments.

I phoned the 1-866 number to try to cancel my domain with yahoo but got a busy signal. I finally got through today and after a 45 minute conversation I finally got the domains cancelled, however, I was charged for the domains 34 days ago, 4 days after the 30 day refund policy and yahoo refused to credit my credit card. Really? With that kind of customer service why would anyone want to do business with them? I have been unable to even pull up my website for some time now. Buyer beware! I am filing a complaint with my state's attorney general's office.

On Wed. Feb 24, 2016 I received a call from Yahoo regarding my prior complaints; both were posted on this site as well as hard copies sent USPS to the companies. He said I could not receive a refund of the $89.97 charges because my information had already been put online January 1, 2016. I said that when I was online he could erase information with a click of a button; why couldn't they? The caller said I have the account for 3 months and that there was no way to cancel. He did suggest that I go online to check my listing with Aabaco by logging in, going to Services tab and then navigating through their Dashboard. Perhaps there was a way to enhance what was online, at no cost, to take advantage of as much as possible since it could not be canceled.

I did as suggested the next day only to find NO SERVICES EXISTED FOR ME! No Web Hosting; No Merchant Solution; No Domain; No Business Email; No Local Listing. Upon calling [protected] (the number given to me on Wednesday to call if I encountered additional difficulties) I was told by their representative, Abi, that all services had been CANCELED AS OF JANUARY 29, 2016!

This is contrary to what Aman told me ON January 29th. Aman said he could not cancel the listing for 3 months and a refund could not be processed.
Well, it certainly didn't take 3 months
to delete me from Yahoo Services;
IT WAS IMMEDIATE

The practices of Yahoo and Aabaco are dishonest and meant to steal from clients.

In talking with Abi he said I was off all sites and could not be reinstated without additional costs even though I was forced to pay $89.97 and refused a refund. Also, when I went online to check my account information - on the account I was not using and now could not use - the phone number listed was not my office number and the alternate number shown was a number that does not exist: 555-5555! Abi asked for security codes. Not only did I never create any security questions or codes, the security questions Abi asked were not "answered correctly". He asked in which hospital I was born and my answer was wrong! He was asked for the phone number on file; again, my answer was wrong. I was able to access my account to see the phone number on file and to reset the security questions/answers. I was able to access my Account Profile to do this. I found that the phone number listed was actually my PRIVATE cell phone number which is a number never used at my office.

My belief is that when I called to initially complain I used my cell phone and someone from Yahoo or Aabaco copies the number from their caller id and used it to fill out the account profile without my knowledge,

Again, I requested a refund of $89.97 for work I did not authorize, did not want and not being provided. Aabaco said I had to stay online for 3 months because I did not cancel before January of 2016. Yet when I go online to view my listing it has already been cancelled and is not able to be reinstated. I wonder: if I opened a new account if it could be easily reinstated?

I believe that the business practices of Yahoo and Aabaco are less that honest! Again, I would greatly appreciate a refund of $89.97. I feel there is a viciousness and contempt being directed at me by Aabaco and Yahoo.

Since dealing with these people I have been hacked both on my business and personal accounts. The telephone number the hackers used was my PRIVATE NUMBER no one knew except these companies. This causes me great concern.

I hope to receive a phone call.

the home page change is sickening. can't pick from 50 or more stories but 5. click on a story and get a "read more" which brings you to another thing altogether. can no longer check on previous posts and what others think of them. half of the stories can't even be commented on unless you sign up for face book, linkedin, twitter or other thing i don't have. i went to yahoo for the ease of posting and returning to my posts for scoring and replies. now they don't have those options. anyone have a different homepage where it is like yahoo was.

Yes, Yahoo keeps getting worse. They may have to go extinct, and good riddance. Their constantly refreshing ads are so invasive, annoying, and overpowering that they even get in the way of typing basic emails. Ugh! That is the worst. And there is literally no way to contact Yahoo directly and complain. They donut care about their customers one bit. Thanks for ruining Yahoo and running it into the ground, clowns! You and all of yours are all about to fade away and hopefully go to burn in hell because your crappy system hardly works anymore! News Flash to Yahoo slaves--get ready to find a new job.

What gives Yahoo? For years I've sent to an address with the dash - in the address, and now you say something is wrong. Now I can't reply to any email or compose. On another yahoo acct, I type in a normal address and you tell me there is something wrong with it, well it worked just fine several hours ago. So, I set up a gmail acct, and if you plan is to drive everyone off, well, at least you are succeeding at something. Yes, I cleared all the history, cookies, etc, shutdown, reloaded what ever, and you are still inop.

On February 3, 2016 I submitted a complaint regarding Yahoo Small Business. I have confirmed additional information pertinent to my complaint.

The $89.97 charge from Yahoo, now Aabaco Small Business, has been placed in dispute with VISA. I received a 3 month Trial Offer. I did not sign a contract for any service beyond the first 90 days.

I also never gave them my credit card information. I never spoke with anyone from Yahoo/Aabaco Small Business to authorize their use of my credit card. Nor does anyone other than myself have the right to give out my credit card information.

Hard copies of this and my earlier posting are being sent via U.S. Mail to Aabaco's Privacy Policy Issues & Complaint Departments.

Yahoo behaves like virus.

Frequently, when I download something, I invariable get switched to Yahoo as my default search engine.

The most recent episode is worse. First Chromium was downloaded to replace Chrome. It was confusing as they look virtually identical and Chromium would launch instead of Chrome from my Chrome shortcut. In addition, the ability to change the default providers was frozen, so I had to use Yahoo. Finally, I got back to using Chrome, but it has been infected and always launches with Yahoo even though the default is set to Google.

Thanks for nothing Yahoo. YOU ARE THE VIRUS!

Yahoo probably uses these forced sign ups to count as new users that they report to investors to claim their business is holding steady. That would be FRAUD! Will report this to the NY Attorney General.

The new home page is so awful I cannot believe the upper-level honchos
approved it. Change it back. I have been a Yahoo customer for 20 years
and this is the worst for using e-mail. Can sign in and use the horrible home page but when logging in to e-mail, cannot access without a message CONSTANTLY appearing that can't access e-mail messages at present time.
If I go back to home page and then immediately return to messages, I might
get to look at a couple of messages before the darn thing screws up again.
What the #$%^ has happened. And, will I ever get a reply.

The new homepage is very frustrating to use. It's very annoying to click on a headline, then be taken to a partial article, then click "read more, " only to be taken to a completely different news website in a new window for the full article. If you're going to post content from other sites, then link directly to that site from the headline on the Yahoo! homepage without the step in between. Yahoo! has been my default home page since the 90s, but this is annoying enough to make me switch.

Dr. Sadleir was given a trial offer to Yahoo Small Business October 23, 2015. A TRIAL OFFER. He was billed, and he paid, $89.97. There was absolutely NO ACTIVITY on Dr. Sadleir's site during the trial period. Dr. Sadleir was never contacted by Yahoo during or after the trial period; yet, another charge of $89.97 was made to his charge card in January of 2016.

January 28, 2016: Dr. Sadleir called Yahoo [protected]) for an explanation of the charge. He spoke with Aman. He was told Yahoo is now called Aabacco Small Business. He had to call back.

January 29, 2016: Dr. Sadleir called a different number [protected]).

Spoke with Sudip who insisted on going through the process of actually creating a log-in as Dr. Sadleir had not yet activated his account. This seemed an unnecessary and time wasting activity but the C/S rep was insistent he couldn't help without going through the lengthy process.

The heading on an e-mail sent to Dr. Sadleir during this process stated ther following: Billing Case: [protected] [ref:o000000BG5AGAA1:ref]

Eventually Sudip answered the simple question: what was the charge for and could he credit it? The charge was for the 1st quarter of a Yahoo work plan which went into effect when the initial "trial period" ended. No, it could not be credited.

Dr. Sadleir was NOT CONTACTED during or at the end of the trial period to "renew" his account. If he had been, he would have cancelled. There had been no activity and was, therefore, of no benefit to him.

Dr. Sadleir requested and eventually was connected to C/S Manager, Aman. Direct line to him is [protected]). He explained that their service is a quarterly on-line listing which, once published, exists for 3 months. The $89.97 charge was to include Dr. Sadleir in this listing. It could not be credited as the listing had already been published. The plan could not be cancelled until the end of the quarter, April 23, 2016.

Dr. Sadleir requested to be transferred or to be given the number of the Complaint Department. He was told there was not such a department at the company. A satisfaction survey would automatically be generated at the end of their phone call; Dr. Sadleir would have to use this survey to relay his complaint to the company, which he did.

However, Dr. Sadleir would appreciate speaking with someone in authority to discuss Yahoo/Aabacco's business practices.

Dr. Sadleir's complaint: He was given a trial offer. Yahoo didn't receive any confirmation from Dr. Sadleir that he wished to continue beyond the trial period. If Yahoo/Aabacco looks on-line they can confirm NO ACTIVITY, no hits or searches. Dr. Sadleir did not receive any notification (verbal, in writing or via e-mail) of forthcoming charges for the first quarter when the trial period ended. If Dr. Sadleir gave no permission (a clear Yes or No if contact had been attempted) to be billed after the trial period ended, Yahoo should not have proceeded with continuing the program. The bill in question should not have been generated in the first place.

Continuing with and issuing a bill for the program was done without
Dr. Sadleir's consent. It was done without notification or authorization of expenditure and IS WRONG & UNETHICAL. Consequently, Dr. Sadleir is requesting a REFUND of $89.97.

Hello yahoo!

For the past week your home page page has changed for the worse. Color way too bright.

But also, the little newsy-photos' arrows are not present so that I can click on either arrow and see other stories of interest.

The little newsy photos are frozen in place. The only photo that seems to change is the big photo above them.

And to the far left, where all of the icons are? No title of each icon shows up. All I see are icons, many of which I can't tell what they are for, and have no desire to go down the list and click on each one.

If this is your new & improved home page, you've clearly made a big mistake so far.

If bugs are in your site, when will they be removed? Thanks!

Yahoo is often inaccurate on the status of many NBA players. They often list players as GTD (Game Time Decision) but they do not always update right before the game whether a player will suit up. Many times injured players recover and Yahoo will list the players as "out" of action. Normally I would not complain about this but Yahoo is starting to charge money for many of these Leagues.

This is to inform you that I open yahoo email account with you many years ago.
But surprisingly I can't login to my yahoo mail account with the yahoo id and password.
They are
Yahoo id: [protected]@yahoo.com
And password is forest

I am shock that somebody is using that email I open with a different name and password but with my id = [protected]@yahoo.com

The person name is victor hajikaf

Please reserve it immediate to avoid further action from me

And restore my email back to me without further delay.
