Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Do you get emails from Yahoo answer members that don't exist?

I occasionally get emails from yahoo answer members and when I click on the "respond to" or "user name" I get directed to a link that says, "I'm sorry, the member name you have requested does not exist in our system." Is Yahoo answers just trying to lure you back? Why would someone send a message and then delete their profile within hours? Makes no sense to me.

    Sometimes this happens when the member is suspended, but the person is able to get messages out, before the name is removed.
