Yahoo!
Reviews and Complaints

I'd like to propose that Yahoo comments section be turned off. This section has become a playground for trolls and artificial accounts. Example, one user account that I clicked on (Tigerhaze) has over 23, 008 reactions. I truly don't believe that this was Yahoo's intention behind the comments section. In an ever increasingly divided political climate, this does nothing to calm the tensions.

Trying to access customer service results in such an infuriating tail chasing exercise which results in no service, directs people to ‘buy' access to their phone service. Dishonest, sneaky, and greedy, Yahoo!

All I wanted to know was how to add email addresses to my contacts automatically, but this information seems to be top secret, if you find out, share the secret!

I have been following the comments on yahoo articles for years. There has been an obvious uptick in blatantly fake accounts that swarm certain topics and flood the comments section with what appears to be propaganda in an attempt to influence public perception of the general consensus on various issues. Like I said, I have been following for years, and the change in tone and points of view have changed in what appears an artificial way. I have noticed that the swarming tactic employed by these fake accounts causes the top comments thread to get "hijacked" so that all a normal person is able to see are comments posted by trolls- we're talking about accounts with tens of thousands of comments spanning time periods that roughly coincide with the trump campaign and Russia's attempts to influence Americans to support his policies and vote for him. Are you guys aware that this is happening in your forum? Could you please provide normal people a tool so we don't have to see it anymore? My suggestion would be that a thumb down mutes the person being thumbed down- seems like the trolls would effectively weed themselves out, or at least self-quarantine themselves into a virtual echo-chamber where they could just troll themselves and leave the rest of us normal people alone. I've tried muting habitual reoffenders that post objectionable comments, but the sheer number of them would be unmanageable without some sort of automated tool I could use. I've been an avid consumer of yahoo news and an active participant in discussions, but these troll accounts are completely ruining the experience for everyone.

New format of Yahoo Mail is absolute garbage. I can't change the size, font, or any formatting to my emails. Who decided this is a good idea? Guess I will be moving over to gmail now. And now I am being told that my complaint is too short? WTF? Get a grip, Yahoo. You are losing clients all over the place - just take a look at the messenger boards. Please - look at your customers... why would you not respect their requests? Don't you have ANY customer service?

On the top of my email, and everyone elses I guess, there is a paid advertisment looking very much like an unopened email.

I find this to be stressing and, more so, a way to deceive people into reading the advertisment.

I have always liked my yahoo email but I find this to be dishonest. Adding to that you further harass me about not turning on more advertisments with regular pop-ups which you will have to turn off to continue your emails and that they are often set to pop-up just when you are about to make reply or something important. It is such a nusance which should not be ok. Of course I can change email provider, like so many others but I don't think this ok, I am certain you do this because you know many of your specific users are not quick to change, which is why I make this complaint.

I hope you will reconsidder your advertisment strategy.

This is a formal complaint and I aim to report what I see as deceptive advertisment to the danish consumer council.

Discovered that one of my yahoo accounts cannot be added to the current one and that the only access I can have to it is through Microsoft Edge. Contacted Yahoo customer support and they connected me with one of their head technicians. All I asked was if the account could be added through the email application on my computer. He said he could do it at first and required access to my computer. I okayed it. Then he starts pointing out things in my computer system and gives me a long lecture on what happened, why it happened and what I need to do about it. Then he wants to charge me $180 for his service. Then he goes back into a long lecture as to how to go about making corrections to the system. I asked him three times if he could fix the problem. When he tells me he can't, I tell him he just wasted an hour of my f-ing time for nothing and he hangs up. I didn't ask for a lecture. I simply asked if he could correct the problem with adding the account to the other one!

Hi I have repeatedly tried to access my yahoo account [protected]@yahoo.co.uk I am

Email being received from insta with security codes to help me gain access insta

I'm Raymond Pordaliza from Philippines and I owned a yahoo mail account and unfortunately this yahoo mail account was not in use in this time because I forgot my password and not having an access to my binded phone number because it was lost two (2) years ago. And my Facebook account was bind to my unretrieved yahoo mail account and I can't access my FB because the verification code is in my yahoo mail account. Can I ask some help regarding this? Please.

To whom it may concern,

I was reading the comments section on yahoo regarding Jagmeet singh and the Quebecs new law regarding wearing religious symbols. Majority of the comments were in regards to the turban. people were making fun of the turban, , , ie its on too tight, it must smell underneath, , its toilet paper, , , its a rag etc etc etc...

so I made comment, , , , , and it was not vulgar and it was not racist …

BUT IT WAS REMOVED... WHY IS THIS... YOU ALLOW FOUL RACISIT COMMENTS BUT REMOVE MY REBUTTAL...

I WILL TAKE THIS TO THE PRESS, , I TOOK PICTURES OF THE COMMENT... PLEASE
EXPLAIN...………..

I have not been able to access my email for 5 days it will not accept my pasword and always says the page is unavailable it directs you to change your password which does no good it just keeps repeating the same thing over and over i am constantly having promblems with yahoo were the hell has customer service gone. i have tried to talk to what is supposed to be yahoo on line tech support and the first thing they want is my credit card with the charges starting a $150.00 dollars this is [censored]

I dont have access to any of the recovery emails or phone numbers to reset my password, yall are trying to charge me 50 dollars to get my password reset, I need the account to get my act scores to go to college. I dont have 50 bucks to reopen an old email that's suppose to be free anyway. It's no wonder people use Google instead now. I can just retake the act for cheaper than trying to reopen this account.

This morning(17 June 19) I spent two hours trying to get into my e-mail at yahoo. I recieved an e-mail at another free mail provider(not yahoo) stating my yahoo e-mail had been hacked and that I would have to change my password. Thats how it started. Yahoo than had me go through all kinds of procedures on security. When I had to prove I was't a robot many times that was it. I started deleteing my yahoo account. That is when yahoo unlocked my e-mail and let me into my e-mail. Then I started getting all kinds of e-mails from yahoo at my not yahoo account. I then deleted my second e-mail account from my yahoo security part of yahoo mail. Then I started getting phone calls from yahoo. I than starting blocking these numbers. I am sick and tried of yahoo. So I decided to delete my yahoo account all to gether. I called the number back that keeps calling from yahoo.Told them who I was and the they hung up. I tried 3 more times and got hung up on. I do not need yahoo. I just want them to go away and stop harassing me. I have found out since it is just impossible to delete my yahoo account. Any number I call that I can find for yahoo does not put you through to a live person and the hangs up on you. I need help here.

I have been a user of Yahoo since 1998, my original yahoo mail address : [protected]@ yahoo.com, I no longer have access to this account due to YAHOO's security [censored], I opened an account as [protected]@yahoo.com, I no longer have access to this account due t=YAHOO's security [censored]. I currently have an account as [protected]@yahoo.com, which provides substandard service. I use Yahoo as my Homepage, and everytime I open it I am blasted with sales ads, Now today I see the top issue on your web page is an ad, and an additional topic below is about an ad. I am sorry but unless Yahoo goes back to being a web server and not an ad server, I will have to transition to google.

Thanks,
Haba

Thursday June 13 @8:20am, I was quickly scrolling through the Yahoo!'s main page when my young children came to ask for something. As I swiped one last time before answering, we were all stunned and angered at a full feature graphic of interabled couples performing explicit sex acts supposedly from cosmopolitan mag. DO NOT PUT X RATED MATERIAL ON A MAIN PAGE DISPLAY! BAD. Here is your URL for the pics displayed : https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/5-sex-positions-interabled-couples-190500926.html.

I set up a second yahoo account to send some targeted emails (50 email addresses ata time) to user of my listserv who had duplicated accounts. After sending the scond batch - MY ACCOUNT HAS DISAPPEARED. No warning - no discussion - just deleted. And - as usual - can't find a help address to discuss with yahoo directly.

Guess I'll just use my gmail account

I would like the email account reinstated so I can see the email addresses that no longer exist and remove them from my mailing list.

I've very upset and saddened when I signed into alexdagreat101 my email account today. To find out all my stuff had been erased, I am now an emotional wreck and seeking council. I have had that email account for over 15 years and have irreplaceable sentimental emails, archives pics and attachments that I can not receive again. So I need my attachments and inbox retrieved back right away, because they failed to give me any warning of any such doing.

I use your news service regularly and have put up with the constant Yahoo contributors attacking Trump on every level. Be fair, the fact you dint like him does not justify a totally one sided view.

Trust me you are pissing off a excellent customer base that likes your services.

Although not vocal they are in large numbers

Investorplace posted and article on Yahoo saying that NIO stock price is going to Zero. Yahoo shouldn't allow this company to post this fake news. They are widely known to short stocks while posting negative news articles. It's called Short and Distort. There are 50 complaints to the Better Business Bureau. This is illegal and hurts shareholders that aren't familiar with thier scare tactics. Please show your legal team. Thank you
