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
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.
