    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.

              Just cause they say "Carol", "Susie" or "Tina" doesn't make him a her. :laugh:

                A new version of the Turing Test? "It'll happen to me before then. When you come back, there will be a woman with my name and my face, she'll cook and clean like crazy, but she won't take pictures and she won't be me! She'll be... like the robots at Disneyland. "

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