Yahoo: Bringing You Spam in New and Improved Ways!

Yahoo introduced a new feature to their web mail. They have integrated Yahoo messenger into the interface so that you can chat without having to use a separate client. It only took a few hours after I opened my mail client to receive the following unsolicited chat message:

From: ychat.complaint_agent_lml
Message: This is an automated message from the Yahoo! abuse department. We have received multiple complaints concerning your account. This constitutes a violation of our Terms of Service Agreement. You must respond to the following complaints to keep your Yahoo! account from being deactivated. http://rds.yahoo.com/abuse.department/SIG=10sqj7nbu/*http://2ch2.net/.l?=otwI


In case it isn't clear from the message, this is a bogus "violation warning" that will redirect you to another site (which I did not follow and I recommend that you don't either).

Thanks Yahoo!
