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.

How do you report Yahoo Groups spam?

All "abuse" links lead to the FAQ and HELP areas, which then, in turn, lead through a series of references ending back at the HELP screen.

In the last 12 hours there were 448 Yahoo Group spams.

As examples, here are the first dozen:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bihaqivaqolym22/mess...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wrightcuwohona/messa...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xumujudynajuvy/messa...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cytivabubufyze/messa...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rossledywyzy/message...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tujevyfygyrafi/messa...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kingpegybeje/message...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/tuhoriqycytiz64/mess...

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kewyqavamylux55/mess...

If you follow each of these you'll find they are all simple pages set up with redirects to illegal online schemes.

Update:

The answer supplied by "Not" is NOT the correct answer. The spammer is the moderator of the group -- reporting to him would be useless.

Update 2:

YES... that is probably the "most" correct answer -- the "Abuse" form page. However, In the last 36 hours, there have been over 500 NEW Yahoo spam and phishing pages spamvertised. Are you saying I would have to fill out that form 500 TIMES ????? Nope. What we need is the CORRECT answer which would be a security department that accepts email.

    once you're a collection moderator, ensure you're making get right of entry to by request in user-friendly terms and delete all and sundry who joins to deliver unsolicited mail. in case you're actually not the moderator, then whinge to the moderator or proprietor of the group. the two one in each and every of them is the guy who might desire to deal with it.
