Exclamation Yahoo account hijacked
My little brothers Yahoo account was hijacked by a Nigerian scammer sho changed the passwords and questions so we are having trouble getting the account back.

We have submitted the help request but nothing is being done, does anyone have any ideas or tricks to get this resolved?

and yes I'm having a nice conversation with the scammer in the interim, he's going on a long car ride to get his western union.

I don't know, but make sure he does not use that account for other things like Paypal or Ebay because the person can request a change of password from those people and it will get sent to the Yahoo account and he'll have control of those accounts too.

He is getting it straightened out talking to someone @ yahoo, in the mean time i did the password recovery so many times that it locked the account down.

After he returns from the long trip, please ask the Nigerian for the blue tittie photo. I think we would all enjoy that.

he responded to a spoof email....stupid.

But I'm going to have fun with this guy, I'm going straight for the jugular. He's going to owe so much money in car rentals, gas and tax on a box of rocks that he won't have the resource to ever scam again, my goal is to get him to borrow money from a mugu...and hopefully not be able to pay it back and then its buckwheats.

Like Hatt says. Plus Howie, do you still have that website where people post scams they've run on scammers? That was a great website for revenge enthusiasts.
