Yours faithfully,
Mrs Gad Church.
Online Cordinator.

My name is Ronald Kyper and I have a yahoo acount. I meet this girl at the adult friend finders site, and she gave me her email address to correspond with, and to IM. She is part of an internet love scam out of Ghana, West Africa. Her email address is [protected]@yahoo.com. She has claimed to have fallen in love with me at warp speed, and I have sent her money for visa, cell phone, and airline tickets. She has never shown up as she has stated she wanted to come to the US and live with me. As I have read on the US Embassy web page there is little that can be done once you send money over there because the police there don't have the resources to deal with it. I just wanted to let you know that this network of scammers are more than likely working out of internet cafes, and are very mobile and hard to track down, but they are using Yahoo as there means to communicate and scam people out of money.

If there is anything that Yahoo can do to stop these people from using there site, it would send them a message in regards to dealing with scammers.

Thank You,

[protected]@yahoo.com

We found an unauthorized transaction for $2.99 on our credit card statement from YAHOO! VOICE BY JAJAH. We immediately called the number on our statement and the company that billed it said they will not authorize any more transactions, but that whoever had our number could not verify any other information and so the try was denied other than the $2.99 which is being refunded. No other authorized charges will come from them, they said, but we reported the card stolen anyway. Turns out the $2.99 was a test to see if it could go through and since it did our account was vulnerable.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, contact the company at [protected] and then cancel your card/account and request a new number/card.

Good luck.

I think Yahoo's much-touted mobile messaging service is a big scam. I have tried to send messages to mobile phones from my Yahoo account at least 20 times in the past two weeks. As soon as I finish writing the message, this display will appear: 'Either the number is incorrect or the user's phone is currently not taking messages.' This is absolute nonsense.

I feel that if Yahoo cannot provide the service, they must admit it and withdraw it, instead of misleading people. There are dozens of other websites offering the service free of charge.
