How can I inform Yahoo that someone is misusing one of their email accounts to scam people on Craigslist? Should I even bother?

Call them... during their business hours... 7-5, I believe and they are on Pacific Standard Time. Be prepared with your original, name, e-mail addresses, home address, secret question and more. Good luck!
P.S. Tonight if you can find a way in... QUICKLY CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD!!!

It would be better to report this to Yahoo because this is already an abuse on the part of the owner of the email account. At least you helping somebody that could have been affected by the scam. Also don't forget to report this as well to the administrators of Craiglist. They probably would be able to stop the scam. Details below if you would like to report it to Yahoo as well so they can also do something:

It's probably better to notify Craigslist than Yahoo. Craiglist can be on the alert for preventing similar postings, whereas Yahoo can't really control who posts what on Craigslist.
