Its happened to me before. Someone figured out your password and fucked some things up. Give the security question answer to get back into your account and pick a harder password.

happened to me all the time when i had aol, cause my stepmom's a bonehead, and probably gave all her billing info to fake ebay member service emails or something

Well i dont know much about computers, but how can and why would someone mess/change an email / messanger acct. I never do any online buying / cc #'s or anything like that...

in my case, it was never the person that stole her password who changed our passwords, it was aol whenever someone from a different ip adress kept logging on and doing 'suspicious activity'

it's really no big deal, someone was probably using your mail account to send spam, and yahoo changed your password to stop them from getting into your account.

lots of companies log ip adresses, and if a brand new ip adress that's never logged onto your account before goes on and instantly starts sending spam/ads, then they have a good hunch it's not you

just call them, or log on with your secret question, and set up a new password, and you'll be set.

i'd run a spyware program, tho, there's a good chance that's how they got your account

Thanks for the help.. I posted the same thread on another forum and gor 5 quick replies from members saying that the same thing is happening to them.. Yahoo itself is fine , but mail/messnger are messed up
