    DELETE THEM!!! DO NOT OPEN THEM!!! I actually had to upgrade my virus and spam ware. Unfortunately they sometimes do caught...but it is usually later before sooner!!! It isn't just on Yahoo, but every ISP out there. The people that send these things out make millions illegally off people and it is soooo against the law....it just takes them getting caught...and there are so many loopholes that they usually get away with it. Don't open them and move them to spam. Good luck!!!

    If they are in your in box don't delete, mark as spam. If they are in the spam folder then what can be done is done.
