I did immediately change my password. So if anyone else gets this beware. It was going to close my email account in 48 hours if I did not comply.

What I am concerned with is my inability to get a reply, confirmation, assistance or advice as to any situation in relation to my inability to access my email account but have no problems with surfing the internet. Is it a case of my being one of the small fish in the sea, there only for the sharks to have as an entree at their leisure? Wal Towells I am not worried about scams.

Which tells me they'll reset my pass word- which i don't want. i can usually get around this page & sign in without give any details. But today I can't! i close the window, open a new one, & re-type yahoo address in & start again. also every time i create a sign in seal, it's not there next time. it's nothing to do with my pc deleting cookies or any thing. Is this a genuine thing? I have a feeling it's not. has anyone else having this problem? i desperately want to check my emails but don't want to risk giving my details. every time i try to sign in, i’m being asked for information.
