Yahoo messenger is slowly being taken over by scammers and here's how they do it.

You take the quiz and to see your results, they ask you for your cell number. Hence the scam.

This has happened to a number of people whom I've tried to contact; it's not my yahoo friends, but scammers who have taken over their messenger.
 
Question....if it is a scam, why post the link here. You should have posted perhaps part of it, or just a mention of the site.

Just not sure why you would want to post the actual link that takes people to a scam for.

Now granted, if they read it they shouldn't click it, but there are those that will.

What does the scam do? I almost fell for it but thought better of it.
 
and who in their right mind would give out their cell # on messenger....?

If its a friend of mine, then they have it. If they dont then its much better to ask for theirs....

I dont understand how people can fall for this kind of stuff...

Well, my yahoo IM got attacked with some kind of facebook virus. I don't even have a facebook account! I ended up getting rid of my address book and sent files; it deleted two years worth of my send files.

I know I'm a horrible packrat; remember I'm not just the president of the Packrats Club of America.....I'm also a member!:rowfull:
 
Ugh, thanks for the info.

Sorry to hear about what happened to your yahoo, IM, kis. I rarely open mine nowadays, but will keep watch for both the scam mentioned, and the virus.

Some one actually pulled this scam on me, or tried to, a few weeks ago. Oddly it was a someone who was on my contact list but I had not communicated with for years. That is something new too where they hack old accounts and get their contacts and pretend they are your old friends and try to get to click these links.
 
It happened to me a couple months ago. Sadly, for the scammers, they chose a friend of mine who has been dead for a year. Lucky for me, I know he wouldn't have used Yahoo messenger to try and communicate from beyond the grave so I wasn't fooled.

it's been for 7 years or so now..that's why i don't use it anymore, or any other messengers. if folks want me for something, they have my phone number or email.​

Same here. And there's some links on facebook I stay away from for the same reason.

Yes, many thanks for the information Scribe!! (And since I'm also a terrible packrat, I have to be more careful... :scared: ) Damn scammers :disgust:

That's really disgusting, even if the damn parasites weren't aware.
Very sorry for the loss of your friend, and that couldn't have been pleasant, getting such a message. 🙁 Hope they were traced. :facepalm:
