i've received them in the past. they're e-mails from Nigeria and elsewhere asking for money. this one is asking for a lot of personal information, i.e., address, social security number, etc. i saw on the news a while back that some people, largely women, become victims of these types of scammers who only want money. this should stop.

Sorry Trudy - I think everyone on the planet got that same email. There is nothing to do but deleting...

Fighting Back
Con artists are clever and cunning, constantly hatching new variations on age-old scams. Still, skeptical consumers can spot questionable or unsavory promotions in email offers. Should you receive an email that you think may be fraudulent, forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov, hit delete, and smile. You'll be doing your part to help put a scam artist out of work.

they are not soliciting for guidance, so it rather is possibly expert. All you will possibly be able to desire to do is click on techniques/cyber web techniques. decide on the more advantageous tab and scroll all the way down to the protection section. make certain that the bins next to apply SSL 2.0 and USE SSL 3.0 are checked, then click ok. in case you haven't any longer have been given SSL enabled on your browser the area will possibly no longer demonstrate as designed. it is not a large deal.

What you need to do is call yahoo and tell them you keep on getting pop ups , or just change your ID or e-mail or click on help it's on the top right Conner of the page and click one of the options and click live chat and they well answer any questions and if they can't they well give you a number to call.

You can contact your e-mail provider with the address and see if they will block the site. Other than that Contact your State's Attorney General's Office and complain to them

There is actually no one you can tell,i think.What you can do is play with them,make them lose their time.Tell them first you need to confirm their information so you can send them yours.Or something like that.That way they will concentrate in you and you may save someone else from falling in this scam
