1) contact all your friends around the world and tell them what's happening.
2) learn how to set up a PROPER email address using your ISP and outlook express or similar. EG: google it
3) learn how to protect yourself from phishing, so next time you won't lose your home or your bank account over it.EG: google it

This is one of the dumbest things I can think of that someone can do - publish your name and email account in Answers for the whole d*** world to see. No wonder someone has "stolen" your email password. Try Yahoo again:
Yahoo Personal Email 1-866-492-4664
Yahoo! Customer Service
866-562-7219
408-349-3300
8am - 5pm M-F (Pacific Time)
The E-Mail address for Yahoo! customer care is
cc-advoc@yahoo-inc.com

Call yahoo here is the link for the number:
http://www.asklivesupport.com/helpdesk/phone_number_for_yahoo_help_desk.htm
This may be the number but not sure, worth a try! It's a free1-800 number. I found this info online but I'm not sure about it.
1-866-562-7219 or 1-866-562-7228
"The Yahoo headquarters are in Sunnyvale, CA. Call 411 and ask for yahoo."
You'll have to fill out a request for it cause they don't give it to you unless it's an emergency. GOOD LUCK Try to request the password and id on the yahoo sign in link.

that may not something yet a phishing scam geared in the direction of getting your individual documents - that scam has been around an prolonged time already! do not answer, do not click any link, in basic terms delete the message, or you will finally end up with a hacked account...:-( be conscious the sender - why in heaven's call might Yahoo use an handle which isn't one among their own?????

so why have you just given everyone on y/a your email address and contact number?
i think this is the reason why someone has managed to get access into your account! you must have given your details over the net or something.
hold on... theres something confussing me..
if they changed your password and sent out random emails then how would you know they have sent emails... after all you have no access to your account to see these messages..
plus how can you log into y/a if they changed your account password????

If that person has not changed the answer to your secret question, you can go to that account and click on 'Forgotten Password'. That should take you to a page where you can give the answer to your secret question and change the password.
