Several Times today I have had Yahoo e-mail me and tell me that some one is trying to establish an e-mail account at Yahoo.... I keep killing it and it keeps coming back!
I don't know the reason but it ain't us doing it.....
The addresses are NALW@Yahoo.com; NALWTECH@Yahoo.com and the account was opened with NALW@COX.NET (our real e-mail)....Please be aware that NALW does NOT have an account or an e-mail address on Yahoo!!!!! Nor do we want one....
Individual members do but not our organization.....IF YOU GET ANY MAIL FROM NALW VIA YAHOO OR SEE ANY POSTS ON YAHOO SIGNED BY NALW,,,,, DO NOT OPEN IT BECAUSE IT ISN'T NALW!I have notified Yahoo support but I guess we'll get an answer about the year 2525??????????

Chuck,
That has also happened to me. I just kept clicking no, and it eventually stopped after about 10 of those mails. I thought someone at my school was doing it, but I highly doubt that now I heard about it happening to you too.
