Is anyone having problems with Yahoo adding contacts to you without either party knowing about it?
I was contacted by Yahoo twice and informed that a user named funkychic wanted to add me as a contact. It also stated that she was a fan of my questions and answers and wanted to link to me so she could find me for other information. I accepted but sent a message asking her if she was sure? I do not even know what a contact list is or what it does. Well, today I recieve a threat from funkychic and her mother stating if I did not remove her that they would contact athorities. I did remove her, but kept the E-mails from Yahoo and her to prove what I say. I would really like to know if this happened to anyone else. I am almost as confused as I am angry, and I do not know if I should be angry at this girl, or at yahoo. Any info would be appreciated.

I was afraid that something like that could happen so, as from the first one I got from Yahoo saying about a fan, I didn´t accept it. Immediately afterwards I went into Edit My Profile and have blocked the possibility of getting another one.
I just don´t want fans or contacts or whatever they are called.

I have a similar problem. When I scroll down to check the answers on Yahoo! i get a box pop us that has someones name on it and they want me added to their contacts..but i its hard to get rid of this box with this info to read the answer so i just punch in the accept them as a contact. but never contact anyone as i am not here to chat with anyone..i just want to ask and answer questions...so this might be part of Yahoo! and it should be addressed to them as they set up the board.
The major problem is Yahoo! does not have a live operator or any real communications with their customers except when they want to boot them out of the game..and then they take away all the Yahoo! privileges???Lock stock and barrel...sooner or latter Yahoo! will start losing market share or they too will be booted by the people who really make their paychecks possible...the public..and if Yahoo! thinks they are above world opinion they will soon find out that the pen is mightier then the sword...Bullies like Yahoo! always lose in the end..sometimes the wheels of justice move slowly but they do move...and Yahoo! is man made and whatever is man made can and will fail eventually

Funkychic either cannot be trusted, OR is a young minor with a mother who cares about what happens to her online.

seriously.. i got someone who i think is a stalker.. or something wrong with them mentally..
i screwed up when i added them.. they added me without my knowledge..
maybe we are making a big deal out of nothing.. but to me it seems like they are promoting stalkers..
i'm gonna see if you allow e-mail. i want to tell you the rest of the story...
