PUBLIC SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT
Did you know Yahoo has changed your settings without your
knowledge?
You may remember when you signed up for a Yahoo ID and were
asked by them if you wished to receive any "Special Offers
& Marketing Communications." Yahoo recently revised their
privacy policy. As a result, and regardless if you chose to
receive any of these "Special Offers" or not when you signed
up for your Yahoo ID, Yahoo has set every single person who
has a Yahoo ID (and those who have more than one) to "YES"
in these preferences.
This means that you may well be inundated with even more junk
mail than you are already receiving. In order to change your
settings back to whatever you had them before, you will need
to log in to you account and physically change them. Login at
the following URL - you will be prompted for your Yahoo ID
and password:
http://edit.my.yahoo.com/config/eval_profile
The middle segment within the Member Information (email
addresses) section has a link to: "Edit your marketing
references." Click on this link and you will see all of your
settings were changed to "Yes"....meaning of course that you will
receive all kinds of "offers" from Yahoo and their "partners".
Unless you wish to receive even more junk mail than you are
already getting, so you may wish to choose whether to receive
such notices. Also, right at the bottom of the page are other
ways you could be notified - by phone or postal mail. Unless you
wish to receive unsolicited phone calls and paper junk mail, you
will need to change these settings to "NO" also.
Once you have finished your selections, make sure you click
on the "Save Changes" button right at the bottom of the page.
