No it’s not a cyber crime under chapter XI of the Information Technology Act, 2000 in India. Such asking or answering of any question in yahoo even if the facts are wrong can not be covered in any of the offences mentioned in chapter XI of the said Act, it is neither tampering with computer source document nor hacking with computer system nor publishing of information which is obscene in electronic form nor any other offences mentioned there. As far liability of cheating others is concerned there is no delivery of any property nor there any damage or harm to the person's body, mind or reputation who reads the question & reply it. Only thing which I will advice to all professionals if they reply any question concerning their profession, they should not misguide or give wrong information to any one that is very immoral on their part & against the professional ethics.

The common reply seems to be 'NO' and 'NO'.
Thank you one and all. The question source was starting to freak me out. Its not easy being your research lab' primate set by graduate students to enter Internet from a stainless steel cage just for a steady diet of tropical fruits and coke.
All those early years of learning english and social customs,
food fights with undergrad's, with all too few intellectual rewards. The good news is I've grown to like throwing poo.

cyber crime has specific limitations in the Law, but i dont think making up and lying about something qualifies for cyber crime...
why are you asking though?
have done that?

Not a crime. The only time it is a crime to lie is when you are under oath, Perjury. Don't forget, we have the Constitutional Right to Freedom of Speech, even lies!!!

No he's a liar. A cyber crime is picking up little girls for illicit purposes.

It cannot be considered as crime, you have to believe or not believe the answer or reply, it is your responsibility, if there is abuse, tell Yahoo, they will block that person

It's only a crime when targeting children.
