Yahoo! UK & Ireland has finally come clean and admitted that some of its customers have been targeted by fraudsters.

The allegations surfaced last month in a newsletter posted by US- based search engine consultant Jill Whalen of HighRankings.Com after obtaining an email which "appeared to be from Yahoo! UK" advising the recipient that they needed ato pay £199 to have their annual Yahoo! listing review.

Ha! How cool, they mentioned me. I can't believe it hadn't come to light before my article. It had been two weeks since those emails had been sent.

Glad my article, the info from my subscribers, and the info from Barry and Andy at MakeMeTop was helpful in bringing the story to light.

I wonder why Yahoo didn't do something about it when all the people emailed them in the first place. :confused:
