Anyone been getting stuff like this recently to a yahoo acct.

I have had a few people ask me to add them to my address book but have no idea who they are. Then today I get a FB message from some "girl" with a private profile who wants to chat and a few of her friends are about to show up. Now its no teven to chat on FB but on a yahoo IM acct. I googled her name and seems its been used to hit up others on FB as well.

Not sure what is up with Yahoo Mail, but lately I've been getting alot of spam in my Inbox and it's not being filtered into the junk folder.

I'm getting redirected from my yahoo search results. As in, I do a search, the link comes up, I click the link, redirect to some marketing website. Anybody know what that is?

A few years back, my ISP farmed out their email service to Yahoo. Within days my spam load had gone up more than 10x. I'm firmly convinced that there are people at Yahoo, who sell email address lists.
