    Every time I login to yahoo (less than 1 time per month) and the chat window pops up I have dozens of messages and confirmations about people who want to add me to their address book or want to send me a chat message... Is there some yahoo chat scam? I have not used chat or IM in over 7 years.

      One of the girls is called Carol. Right? It's Yahoo phising, to get you to 'try' other products. :)

          just keep hitting no, spam, ignore. They'll go away. I think it's done with bots.

                    There are some settings that allow you to block unknown people from contacting you in Skype. Not sure if yahoo has the same settings.
