Scammers LOVE gmail more than yahoo. Why? Gmail (google) has dropped the ball on reporting scammers. Scammers know in the time window that it takes someone to notice (or people just delete offending email) the scammers have usually already done their work. At least yahoo while being prone to being hacked (I get 5-20 of them PER DAY) has a instant form one can fill out where it can shut them down. Windows Live is the best and instantly shuts down scammers. Gmail is the WORST, followed by Yahoo on shutting down scammers. How bad is yahoo hacked accounts sending spam? So bad I have their 'report spam' link in my toolbar!!!! http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/ymail/spam.html Google or gmail could learn from that quick link (instead of making those who want to report spam jump thru hoops to do so) and do same for instant shutdown of those who abuse their systems. Just my 4.9 cents adjusted for Obamas sh*t economy.

I get two or three bogus emails from legitimate email accounts every week and am getting tired of it. So will all of you with Yahoo accounts either drop their sorry butts or at the very least change your passwords to something with at least eight characters in it, that contains an uppercase and a lowercase letter, a number AND a special character such as anything along the top row of your keyboard!? Do not, I repeat, do NOT make a password that is a common word found in the dictionary. Don't make your password, for example, fred123 or hornet or javabc. Yahoo accounts in particular are prone to getting hacked. I really don't know why people still use them and how they manage to stay in business. It's horrible. Please update your password RIGHT NOW.
