This may seem naive, but – a friend of mine cut off her yahoo personals some months before meeting a significant other. She continued to recive Yahoo personals alert on her email, even after she was no longer a member, she was still appearing on their site (sans picture) even though inactive and told that she would be removed after 3 months. She managed to finally get herself removed but continued to receive alerts for replies to her profile. WHAT GIVES WITH THOSE GUYS – How do you escape their clutches??
Fairly straightforward answer: according to the Yahoo Personals help site, you need to do the following:
If you would like to delete your Yahoo! Personals profile, please visit:
Personals.Yahoo.Com
You may need to sign in using your Yahoo! ID and password.
When you get there, you’ll need to click on Edit Profile then Delete your profile on the upper right hand side of the page. You should be able to get the same functionality by clicking on this link: Delete your Yahoo Personals profile.
Here’s where I think your friend might have gotten tripped up, though:
“If you have a profile posted, deleting your profile will not cancel your subscription. If you would like to cancel your subscription, please click on the “Billing Info” link located on the home page.”
Your friend should also change their privacy settings on their Personals account, if they can, to make sure their profile isn’t searchable:
See the option I chose here? You’d want to, um, I mean your “friend” would want to choose the same.
Good luck!
I was holder of e-mail “beckdevos@yahoo.com.au” I inadvertantly disclosed my username and Password when I received a reminder to do so. I thought it was Yahoo, but it was a hacker who stole my account and sent begging E-mails to people in my address book. I immediately cancelled my account, but I don’t know if it is still controlled and being used by the hacker. There is no way to contact Yahoo by telephone or other way to find out if this is so. Friends may still be sending E-mails to this address and being received by the unknown hacker.
Why won’t my contact info save when I change it?
I’ve tried to update my account contact info multiple times and it will not save. I can’t delete the old info and I can’t add the correct info. I type it in, press “Save” and absolutely NOTHING happens. If I move to a new webpage and then go back, the old info is still there. No change.
I ha sent and tried to find out how I even ended up with yahooi have all but begging to delete. Me off of yahoo I don’t know how I was even put on this site. I follow the steps but I don’t have a pass word or user name so please help me someone and delete. Me from yahoo.thank u jsparkmn @aol.com

Joanna, I’d contact your credit card company and explain the situation. Ask them to put a stop on the transaction so that it doesn’t go through next time. Good luck.

i forget my password and when i fill befor yahoo data
I keep getting a reminder from Yahoo asking me for account information. It says Yahoo is changing the way you can recover your account in case you forget your password. Is this genuine or a scam?
It wants my email address and in return Yahoo will send password reset and account emails.
There are also two security questions to be completed.
Is this a scam or is it really from Yahoo. Why does Yahoo not advertise this somewhere else and widely so that everyone will know it is genuine and not a scam. Please help me. I am very afraid to fill in this form. Thanks.
