Help. I'm being attacked by someone when logging into Yahoo Messenger ... receiving multiple messages.?

When I log on I get multiple messages that fill my screen until it overloads messenger and it shuts down. How do I stop this or block incoming messages from anyone that is not on my friends list? How can Yahoo track down this jerk and disable his/her account?

    take them off your messenger list and push the button ignore this person button, Or change your email address on everything. I just had this man from Germany do just that to me I did messenger list and pushed ignore the person finally my son threatened to hunt him down and kick his butt but in worse words and I haven't heard from him since and I didn't change my email address. good luck hon

    i'm sure you can click on the persons screen name and chose to blick him! are you sure it's not a virus? if you get so many messages that you have to shut it down then it sounds like a virus to me! good luck with that....

    go to your ACTIONS menu on your IM screen and when the A**hole comes on you click on BLOCK SENDER and that should help
