Hello,

Anyone know to whom you can report yahoo-hosted phishing sites (or redir=
ects) and get someone who has half a clue? If you try to report the site=
s to abuse@yahoo.com, or use the online abuse web form, you get a lame m=
essage that says 'the email in question did not originate from a Yahoo! =
mail server' -- or something to that effect.

Yahoo has become a real problem because there seems to be no one to repo=
rt these sites to. I have seen Yahoo-hosted sites up for a week or more =
because of that...

Any ideas?

THANKS!
