did you put your yahoo id and password in there?\n if so you had better change both. and hope they dont find out where you live and what your phone # is!!.\n  and immediately report this to yahoo. as far as i know yahoo does not do this i believe they would send something in the regular mail for you if that be the cause.\n\n   yahoocustomer care@yahoo.com

I am sorry you are victimized through lucrative offer. How do you believe such a fraud offer.  Anyway don't give your\n Bank or  credit card details otherwise you will incur heavy financial losses.If you have already given any such details, please ask your bank not to effect any payments to any party without your prior consent before it's too late.Please don't get trapped again by such fake offers in future.I hope you are not looser in this game.

You are the victim of a phishing scam.  Yahoo would never ask you to "reconfirm" your account.  This is a very common scam.  \n\nYou will NEVER be asked to reconfirm your account information by ANY legitimate business or website!  If you receive one of these fraudulent e-mails, you should forwared it to the Abuse department of the business that the e-mail purports to come from.\n\nThe scammer has changed your password, this is why you are locked out of your account.\n\nYou should contact Yahoo and explain what happened.  Hopefully they will lock out that account so that the scammer cannot use it any more.  Yahoo may or may not get you access back into the account.  I wouldn't bet on that, though.\n\nYou might try to log on to it and go through the lost password recovery procedure.  If the scammer didn't change your settings, you will be able to recover the account.  Then give yourself a NEW password.  Make it something that someone won't guess easily.  \n\nIf you get this lucky, you should contact all of your friends and contacts on Yahoo and explain to them what happened.  The scammer has probably tried to scam them or send viruses or spyware to them pretending to be you.  Since your friends think that it's coming from you, they are more likely to trust the e-mail or message as being legitinate.\n\nIf they did change your details and secret question, the account is probably lost forever.

Unfortunately you are probably the one who provided it. Here are some suggestions to avoid providing information for scam artists.\n\nIf you get an email or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information, do not reply. And don’t click on the link in the message, either. Legitimate companies don’t ask for this information via email. If you are concerned about your account, contact the organization mentioned in the email using a telephone number you know to be genuine, or open a new Internet browser session and type in the company’s correct Web address yourself. In any case, don’t cut and paste the link from the message into your Internet browser — phishers can make links look like they go to one place, but that actually send you to a different site.\n\nUse anti-virus software and a firewall, and keep them up to date. Some phishing emails contain software that can harm your computer or track your activities on the Internet without your knowledge.\n\nAnti-virus software and a firewall can protect you from inadvertently accepting such unwanted files. Anti-virus software scans incoming communications for troublesome files. Look for anti-virus software that recognizes current viruses as well as older ones; that can effectively reverse the damage; and that updates automatically.\n\nA firewall helps make you invisible on the Internet and blocks all communications from unauthorized sources. It’s especially important to run a firewall if you have a broadband connection. Operating systems (like Windows or Linux) or browsers (like Internet Explorer or Netscape) also may offer free software “patches” to close holes in the system that hackers or phishers could exploit.\n\n\nDon’t email personal or financial information. Email is not a secure method of transmitting personal information. If you initiate a transaction and want to provide your personal or financial information through an organization’s website, look for indicators that the site is secure, like a lock icon on the browser’s status bar or a URL for a website that begins “https:” (the “s” stands for “secure”). Unfortunately, no indicator is foolproof; some phishers have forged security icons. \nReview credit card and bank account statements as soon as you receive them to check for unauthorized charges. If your statement is late by more than a couple of days, call your credit card company or bank to confirm your billing address and account balances.\n\n\nBe cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive, regardless of who sent them. These files can contain viruses or other software that can weaken your computer’s security.

If you're interested in the car contact the seller and ask if they will accept any other forms of payment. I buy and sell on ebay on a regular basis and I've never heard of yahoo finance, not to say that it doesn't exist. It sounds strange that a seller would request payment from some type of financing company instead of a direct payment from paypal or a cashiers check. Good Luck

I wouldn't count on getting that information from Yahoo, even though the person involved did rip you off it's a privacy matter.  You might want to contact your local police station to see if they have an internet fraud division.  Problem is, a lot of these scammers are overseas where the police can't touch them.\n\nThere is a very good chance you'll never see your money again.\n\nIn the future, if you receive an eBay related email to your email account, check your ebay messages on your My Ebay page.  If the email does not appear there, it's most likely a scammer email.

You can take it to any bank and ask them to have their loss prevention department investigate. You can also report this person's e-mail to the FBI internet fraud department. You can find the link at www.fbi.gov.

You'll probably find out the hard way.  You alerted the bank, and (assumedly) the police, so at least you covered your bases.\n\nIn the future, it's good not to give that kind of information to anyone unless you are positive of their identity.  (Usually this means it is a well-known corporation.)  Unless YOU initiate a transaction, you should be suspect.  Nobody calls you up out of the blue to give you money you never asked for.  Life SHOULD work that way, but it doesn't.\n\nThis is very likely a scam.  Change your bank account number, and good luck.  I'm rooting for you, but be prepared to be let down.

I noticed that you had not received any responses to your question. While I don't have the answer myself, have you tried to contact Yahoo! online Help directly?\n\nThe Help page link is at the very upper righthand corner of your web page in really small print. I've included the link here, in case you can't find it on the Yahoo! Finance page.\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/us/fin/\n\nWhen you go to this web page, scroll to the bottom. Under the heading Yahoo! Finance Basics, the last two options/links are Send Feedback and Reporting Errors. I believe your question is mainly a Send Feedback type of issue, but either link should let you submit your issue to Yahoo! Finance page support.\n\nGood luck!

i would contact yahoo because they are the ones debiting your account. the credit card company will usually put the responsibility on you. i used to have an aol account and had a very hard time canceling it. i tried contacting my credit card company about it and they told me to contact the merchant directly.

They took $159.95 from my account a couple of weeks ago. It is a credit card fraud company. They took your info through fake credit card ads online. Then they would take your money as a 'subscription' fee. I got their phone number from my bank and called them, but no one was ever there. Their number is 813-930-7323.\n\nSolution- Call your bank. Tell them that you want to dispute the transaction. My bank investigated the dispute and gave me my money back in one week. I want to sue them for my time and energy trying to get my money back.
