    You can do that. Just forward the email in its entirety, with headers, to the following address:

    y_answrs_team@yahoo.com

    Subject: "Harassing email from a Y!A user"

    Give Customer Care the details that you mentioned in your question. Never, under any circumstances, respond back to the harasser. Doing so will cause him to report you for harassment. After that, go to his profile and click Block. This will keep him from viewing your Q&A's and contacts. That's all to it.

    Now keep in mind what he's did to you is already a violation of both the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service. Just hope and pray Customer Care terminates his account for his despicable actions. I hope I've been very helpful with your rather messy dilemma.

    Yeah, this guy Jake made countless racist and insulting feedback to a query the different day; he's clearly have been given actual issues. ensure to report this to the organisers; human beings have each and every proper to apply this website without then receiving offensive emails, particularly if there is racist content textile! in basic terms somebody with very low intelligence might behave like this; judging by using different feedback of his that i've got seen, he's clearly a finished moron.

    Good Morning.

    Yes, there is a way to report abusive emails.

    Whatever you do, don't respond back to the abuser, and don't block him. Allow him to send you abusive emails so you can use his own stones to get rid of him.

    When you feel it is time to report the abuser, simply forward the abusive email(s) to:

    answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com

    OR

    y_answrs_team@yahoo.com

    Rest assured Customer Care will investigate your issue to take the appropriate action.

    Once again, don't block him. You need those abusive emails from him so you can get his account suspended.

    Take care.

    Report stalking/harrassing to: y_answrs_team@yahoo.com. Be sure to include the original mail and if possible, also provide a link to the user's profile. Note: the missing e in the address is intentional!

    Find one of his answers or questions and report him through that. Failing that, just respond, say eff you, and then block him.
