quickname asked:


Recently I have started to get a lot of phishing emails to my Yahoo account where I never used to get any. Is there a way to find out where I posted my Yahoo email account online recently to find out where I am exposed to such attacks? (That is, where phishers are getting my address from)

Patti F asked:


Does this mean they have hacked into my email account. They sent messages to everyone on my contact list, even people I have not contacted in years. How do I stop this if they already have access to the contacts. I changed my password, but could they have copied my contacts?

Matthew T asked:


I’ve gotten some phishing emails that use a peoplepc email address and it bugs me. I want it to stop. I’ve read articles online about how seriously peoplepc prosecutes phishers–they even cited some people who were arrested. However, I’ve yet to find anyplace on their website where I can REPORT phishing emails. Does anyone know what I can do?

These emails continue to come from other countries claiming that I am going to receive all sorts of money and they want way too much information from me. I believe these are scam, phishing attempts.
How do I get rid of them forever?
My MSN sites have a way to report phishing scams but I haven’t found it with Yahoo.

I have been able to forward all previous phishing mail to the companies that it claims to be from, but cannot forward this newest one. Do I need to change my email address?
