I keep receiving this message on my Yahoo Messenger:
"ychat_admn_y92 (01/10/2005 01:50:20): Hi, [my Yahoo account name] I am a Yahoo! Inc. Administrator. You have received multiple complaints about abuse from your Yahoo! account. This constitutes a violation of our Terms of Service Agreement. Your account will be terminated if you do not respond to these allegations. Use this link to view and respond to these complaints. http://sh1.yahoo.com/rmi/http://xrl.us/hsxw"
Quite clever. You think the address is off the yahoo.com domain but actually it's off the xrl.us domain.
Going to that link - I did out of curiosity - takes you to a very good fascimile of the Yahoo login screen.
I didn't, of course, log in but reported it to Yahoo. This was a month ago and the scam has just reappeared.
Incidentally I never use Yahoo Messenger. I don't know anyone who uses it anymore: nowadays it's either MSN or better still Skype.

Timothy Noah: Santorum's Mighty Wind, Part 2. 09/27/05 David Segal: How Gotti Jr ... Illinois Senator Barack Obama looks at the lefty blogosphere's strident vilification of the 22 Democrats who voted to confirm John Roberts to the Supreme Court and doesn't like what he sees.
Take a look at my 'finding friends' site. It can be found here finding friends.
Wishing you every success with your own site.
