Yahoo
Account Hijacked, Wallet Opened With My Card, Refused to Delete

Internet & Web

I have a Yahoo e-mail address. At some point someone got into my Yahoo account and opened a "Yahoo wallet" using my ID and credit card info. Yahoo billed my credit card company for this usage. My card company is taking the charges off my card, but Yahoo refuses to delete my supposed Yahoo wallet and its contents so that they would no longer have my credit card info.

They keep telling me I can get into it and delete it myself if I want it done. I can't, because it is password protected, and since I didn't open it, I don't know the password.

They still have my credit card info, and someone could still be ripping me off because of that. There is no reason whatsoever that the people who keep sending me generic replies on form letters can't just spend 1 minute erasing the wallet instead. I think they just want to keep the illegal info they have so that they can rip me off more. Too bad these internet companies can't be controlled.
