Are you saying these companies do not have business licenses? How are you verifying that? I looked at one, it looked real enough to me.

It is illegal to discriminate in advertising as long as the companies are not falsely advertising. The one I looked at was selling dvd collections, as stated.

I would suggest you report them - Yahoo may not yet be aware - same as they cannot be aware of every scammer who uses a false yahoo email address.

My suggestion just don't follow the links.

Because they pay for the advertising. And it must work. Some people must buy because they KEEP advertising.
