they wouldnt win the yazoo mail as it doesnt even have the same pronunciation as yahoo. nor does it represent yahoo at all. its a hoax. also was it an email or a letter. if its an email its definately a fake. any legal department would send a lengthy document detailing their claims.

Well, as everyone said, if its an email its nothing serious. I receive a LOT of emails and phonecalls threatening my biz but never got a reall letter from any attourny.

So, until they get those pappers, be cool

i would contact a lawyer to make sure all is legit.

like a "pay youwhen i get payed situation"...lol

idk i dont think you can do that, you pay for the domain it should be yours, but if there is illegal content on it and using the yahoo name i bet they can do something like this...basically slander of some sort i bet!

man, it sounds like yahoo is having so problems. I mean, some of those names don't even have the whole word YAHOO in it. In my opinion, that is stupid!!! :angry:
