There are some people on Answers writing answers such as 'I have the best answer to this question' and then requesting that you click on a link. Do not do so. It downloads a dangerous program onto your computer which acts like a virus to make you buy fake antivirus software.
One such member is called Jessica R. 'her' account needs to be terminated now. Does anyone know how we go about this?

I've reported her for spamming 2-3 days in a row now; and I NEVER go to a link I don't recognize the domain name from.

Thanks for the warning. As of an hour ago, the account was still here and running the bot. I too have reported it many times over the last several days and have contact Yahoo themselves. Hopefully, they'll get this taken care of pronto.

It is being worked on as we speak (type). Do not ever click on an unfamiliar site, spambots are everywhere.
Have a good day.

Yeah I saw that too.
All you can do is report her/him. If sufficient number of ppl report this person, his/her account will be suspended.
