    It's not a real 14 year old, it's some 40 year old loser who is spamming yahoo answers with scam websites. He posts the fake question, then answers with the scammer websites under a different account. He gets reported and kicked off yahoo daily, then comes back the next day under new accounts.

    I have seen people say they feel sorry for this bum because all he does is sit in a room recreating accounts so he can get his scam websites up, but in reality, this guy is trying to rip off people. The websites he's advertising are scamming sites to steal your money. He is scum and I personally wish the worst upon him.

    This is a spammer, who gets paid by how many people click on the links in the (usually) first answer. Very few people report this person, so he or she keeps coming back every other day with a new ID but the same old question. If everyone would report the spam when they see it, maybe he would get discouraged and stop coming back. He also posts as a stay at home mom looking for online work, with various fake sob stories. Hope this helps.

    Its the same person. Lots of 14 year olds ask that question, but this past week there has been one man (the one who owns the websites I listed below). He posts the same exact question WORD FOR WORD and then its always the same first answer WORD FOR WORD. Its identical and he asks it in every category at the same exact time of day so you see about 20 of the same question in 5 minutes. Anybody who thinks its different people obviously hasnt seen this actual guy. He goes by Thomas K. Rose K. Michael C. Frank K. Its always the same person though.

    Hes a spammer. Hes making good money. Just keep reporting him so nobody sees his links and goes to his site. Ive done what hes done on other sites but not as obvious and not as annoying and not as much. This guy is a sicko and I wouldnt be surprised if yahoo sued him over this cuz hes gotten way out of control. Hes not your average spammer.

    edit: ok so the links lead to hottestnewphones.net which is owned by click-123.com. Here is the public information available on those websites: p.o. box and phone number of that "company".

    Click, Inc, 123

    domains@click-123.com

    P.O. Box 5225

    Harrisburg, PA 17110

    US

    Phone: 866-273-8090

    Heres the IP address: 64.8.55.40

    Report that, along with the domain names click-123.com and hottestnewphones.net to the following companies that provide service to this guy:

    1.NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC. (his website host, they will shut his sites down if they catch him spamming)

    2. Level 3 Communications (his ip supplier, they will shut down his entire internet service)

    I looked at his sites. Hes not just a spammer, hes a scammer. Rips people off and doesnt give their money back. I dont feel bad reporting him. I checked to see how many people visit his sites each day, he gets at least 900 people a day on that one site he spams.

    It's spam, somehow connected to a phishing scam. The answer to why this question is everywhere is that nobody will take 30 seconds to report it - it usually takes at least 2 reports for the question to disappear; 5 deleted questions result in that ID being suspended after a few hours.

    That reeks of spamming and scamming. It's probably someone associated with some type of business that is advertised on-line. They create multiple accounts and ask the same question several times. Then they go under their other accounts and answer it providing links to their website. If you see this kind of pattern report it to Yahoo and explain in the box what you think is going on.

    Its spam. Someone posts the question, then logs in as another user and answers it with a link to a comercial site.

    Comercial sites will pay people money to do this
