To all yahoo & ebay users: be aware of nigerians using yahoo email to bid on ebay etc. This Yahoo user "Serah Clement [serahclement02@yahoo.com]" is a Nigarian scam!!!
Yahoo does'nt allow anyone directly reporting the abuse of their site - bad, very bad security!!!

But in this day and age, anyone NOT aware NOT sto try to extract funds illegally from another country in exchange for a share of the $25,000,00 (twenty five million dollars) (Ever notice they always write it in words too ?) really deserves to lose some funds.
Also as MOST of these emails are NOT sent from a Yahoo account bus faked headers, it's NOT actually a breach of the terms, it's a breach to SEND the emails, NOT to receive replies from gullible people.

In addition, you are wrong about No way to report it.
Look around a little E-Bay, Yahoo, all have ways to report SPOOF, and PLISHING.
You have to be able to recognise them first.
After the fact does you No good.
To be able to retrieve a loss after the fact is next to impossible from these scammers.
Oh by the way these clowns have been doing this for at least 3 years that I know of.
