Here is a message below I received from someone in another Yahoo! group to which I subscribe.  I did exactly as instructed below, and it’s true---all my marketing preferences had been re-set by Yahoo so that it looked like I was giving them permission to call me, email me, etc.  So I followed the steps outlined below and changed my settings back to the way I had them in the first place (don’t call, don’t write, and don’t email). 

 

 

I urge everyone to check your Yahoo! Groups profile and repair your

privacy preferences.  Apparently, Yahoo has done something new, and

default state for things like "Sure, you can have people call me

on the phone and try to sell stuff" is set to ON.  If this isn't

what you want, you can "fix" this:

 

Go to

http://groups.yahoo.com/

 

 

Click on "Account Info" near the top right of the window.

 

Log in with your Yahoo password.  Then on the next screen, click

on "Edit your marketing preferences." and be amazed. 

 

Fix the settings, and then click "Save Changes" on that screen.

 

Then click "Continue" on the next screen, and then "Finished" on

the one after that.
