    Sorry to hear that. I went through the same thing a few months ago. I tried to terminate my account with no luck. It eventually subsided but it made me mad that I could not easily terminate the account. I followed the instructions but never got anywhere. Here are the instructions I found on how to try and terminate an account. http://email.about.com/od/yahoomailtip1/ss/wt03130...

    The following is good for most all windows PC computers, But Most of the times we find the problems with Email, is found in the IE Browsers. You can With to another Browser if you have to see if you still are having the issues. Here is what you can do to fax most Computer and or Browser problems.

    ;

    Please, you need to perform this once a week and you should see a noticeable. You will see a difference the first time. NO downloads to load.

    >OPEN Your Browser and CLICK ON CTRL-SHIFT-DEL If this dose not work drop down to 1.

    >Now you should see a window call DELETE HISTORY.

    > Now Click on all boxes but leave the top OPEN.

    >Now DELETE

    >RESET YOUR COMPUTER.

    Part 1. Open you internet browser, To perform this you have to open TOOLS, once OPEN look for INTERNET OPTION, note Browsing History check the box and click check all but the top favors. This will clean some but not all errors When you Click DELETE.

    Close you BROWSER and were going to Clean up Your PC

    Part 2. Next on START, All Programs, click on first directory ACCESSORIES, look for SYSTEMS TOOLS and click on system clean up, check all boxes and this will remove a lot of junk errors, where you have been surfing the internet. Perform this a few times Until you are seeing all “0”.

    Part 3 Now return to step Part 2 but after "system tools" click on fragmenter. Here is a bit of understanding of what is going on, more detail below to understand why.

    You're Hard Disk is spinning at high speed and as files are loaded as a mex of numbers and letters. they may go in (EXAMPLE: D.H.Y.A.N.B.O.A.) With no order to them at all .and over time this creates a big problem as it becomes hard for the computer to find what you need. (PC RUNS SLOWER) . The Computer is trying to read the hard disk most, of the time. Think of it like this, we all know ABC through XYZ and 123 to 789. Right?. De-fragmentation puts them into order on the Hard Drive and closes the gap between free open space.. When it is written into an order the computer can understand. Then the PC can find the data with a faster response to your input and this helps it, to run quickly, faster for you..So if this is a bit simple, please forgive me. An informed PC user knows what to do and "WHY" it needs to be done. This is the bast way I know to help everyone understand, WHY..

    Now you may need to run the following about (SIX- 6 time or more to clean errors) The computer needs a clean-up or workout once a week or more times as it will pass over errors the first few times that makes passes and fix issues.. By running it a few times a Month, it has time to find and clean up errors, history, cookies and bad files. Once complete reset by rebooting the hard drive. Every time you search the web your computer stores pictures, links, fines and more called cookies, history ect. To make your return searches work faster. But if you’re not going back it becomes junk and needs to be removed. What you are doing is removing them so your COMPUTER has more room to work, The computer needs free memory to work faster. Enjoy A good virus program which everyone should have. I like the new Norton 2012.

    There is a valid Yahoo email where you can forward such scam emails. I'll try to find it for you if no one else provides it. Otherwise, you can simply delete the scam mail.

    EDIT: One way you can report that email is by using this form: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=cont%E2%80%A6

    If you have any difficulties with that form, try this one: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ym%E2%80%A6
