My wife forgot her password and security question at least they say she did. Now some tech guy that works for Yahoo (at least he says he does) named Dominick wants to charge her 150.00 to fix it. We have been trying to get in touch with help for days via phone to no avail. Yahoo customer service is the pitts.

Here’s the situation. I was at work, I work the sales floor at big 5 sporting goods. I asked a customer if he needs help with anything. We start talking about some stuff behind the gun counter which transitionsinto a casual conversation. After about 15 he asks to meet me for coffee the next day. Not sure what to think I agree mostly out of curiosity. I meet him for coffe, starts with light conversation. Then I ask him what he does. He was very vague, says he works some sort of affiliate marketing, and that he finds people to help, mentor, and build leaders out of. THen he proceeds to explain to me the state of the economy, goes on a rant about amazon and Google, talks about how to get rich in today’s world. Finally he kind of gets to the point and tells me I could get involved if I’m interested, keep in mind I still don’t understand what he’s asking me to get involved with. He gives me a business card that says nothing more than “portico” with his name and number on it, and a cd calf rich plan poor plan. Then he invited me to come to his house Wed and meet his “team” and that I should bring my wife. I tried getting him to be more specific but he still didn’t elaborate much. He was a nice guy and seemed very intelegent. I just don’t know what to think about it. Has anyone had this kind of experience before that could maybe clue me onto what’s going on?

One thing that helps is to clear the cache and update Flash and Java. You can clear the cache of most browsers quickly by clicking Ctrl + Shift + Delete at the same time. Check that Flash and Java are updated by visiting their sites for the latest version:http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp
There are several activities which could cause this message. Usually your account will be frozen from sending for 24 to 48 hours, although you can still open and delete mail during that time. You just have to wait out that lock on sending mail – no other choice.
The most common reason for this message is attempting to send to too many addresses at once. Yahoo’s limits are 100 addresses in total, with only 50 per domain such as @yahoo.com, but Yahoo recommends sending to far fewer than that number at once. There is also a limit on the number of mails sent per hour (200 addresses) and per day (unknown number). Frequently the ‘suspicious activity’ warning or sending freeze occurs for far fewer addresses.
Sometimes Yahoo is doing ‘maintenance’ on a particular server, which will affect service for those accounts using that one of many servers for a short while. Once again, you will just have to wait it out.
Your account may have been taken over and is being used as a robot ‘zombie’ account to send spam, unknown to you. In that case, change all your security information – a good thing to do every so often anyway. Yahoo’s advice is to change your password, but there are several more security settings to change than just your password. This Help page has more information, stated clearly, with several links to clarify the steps.http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=cont…
FIRST, check that the alternate e-mail address/mobile phone number is still yours, under Options, Mail Options, Account Information, but then change it! (so the hacker will not be notified of the change). Check the ‘Reply To:’ address as well.
Then change both your password AND your secret questions and answers. Make the password a long, strong one with mixed characters! Length = Strength for passwords! Start with a sentence and make substitutions with numbers, symbols and punctuation. Go to “Update password-reset info” to change your Secret Questions and Answers. Make sure they are unchangeable, unique, and easy for you to remember.
For a Yahoo account, you can change your password at https://edit.yahoo.com/config/change_pw. If you can no longer access your account, you can get a new password at https://edit.yahoo.com/forgotroot/.

Let’s say you have an extremely niche business. Would it be more cost effective to spend the money you save on a cheaper space to advertise directly to your target customer?
