Shopping them in to Yahoo

Post by Mountain Goat »

Yahoo came back to us today with a new email address for reporting scammers:

Thanks for writing to Yahoo! UK Customer Care.

Thank you for reporting this to Yahoo! It is prohibited to send
unsolicited or 'spam' email from a Yahoo! Mail account as agreed by new users when accepting the Yahoo! Terms of Mail Service Agreement.

In this particular case, we have identified the account used to send this email and have taken the appropriate action to prevent it from being used again to send spam mail.

In the future, if you receive an unwanted email message that appears to originate from a Yahoo! Mail account, please forward the message with full headers directly to us at
uk-mail-abuse1 @cc.yahoo-inc.com.

For further information about this specific type of fraud, please see:

The police link is interesting.

"If you believe you might be being set up as a target for fraud or if you are an investigator and you think you might be dealing with this type of activity then please contact your local police station"

And they will do what? My guess is sweet FA.
