    What's your question?

    The posts you refer to come from spam bots, but one or more humans are programming them. They are being paid by the company they are posting for, to enhance search engine optimization for that company (or so it appeared when the posts began a month or so ago). We don't know when or if Yahoo will take action. All we can do is report them, ignore them, or leave YA. The posts are ALL OVER the site. Hopefully they will be dealt with soon. MANY questions have been asked about this already. It's been going on for several days now.

    if you look around at other comments , you will see its a spam bot happening to everyone for weeks, across all categories, in several countries. Not much we can do until YA fixes it. Dont answer these, they will drop on their own if no answers. They are nonsense
