I have had an email account with Yahoo.com for over 2 years. A few days ago Yahoo suddenly refused to let me access my email account. They claim it is because I am a child, and that the date of birth I entered when signing up was that of a minor.
That is ridiculous. I signed up with Yahoo.com email over 2 years ago, and it is hard to believe that they have just now realized I am a minor. This is absurd! I am a full-grown adult, which they knew when I signed up. Had I entered a date of birth indicating I was a minor, it would have been noticed at the time of sign-up, not two years later.
What is the real reason Yahoo.com is denying me access? Credit card scam and fraud! This can be the only answer.
The only way for me to verify my age, according to Yahoo.com, is to enter my credit card information. I do not have a credit card. When I told Yahoo that, they said that at this time the only way for them to verify my age is with a credit card. I cannot access my email account unless I provide Yahoo with credit card information! This is preposterous! This is a scam! This is a ripoff!
Even if I did have a credit card, I would never give out this information under the circumstances presented to me by Yahoo.com. I choose when and where I want to give out credit card and other personal information. I consider this action by Yahoo.com to be coercion and extortion. What else could it be? Suddenly, after two years of being with them, they want credit card information from me. Why? They claim that if I provide my credit card information, my card will not be billed. But this is bogus! Yahoo.com is up to no good with this credit card scam!
Beware of Yahoo.com. Do not get email from Yahoo.com. If you have email with Yahoo.com, change to another email provider, because with this one you cannot access your account unless you provide credit card information. That is extortion!
