Urban Legends: Yahoo Is Shutting Down
Yahoo was recently purchased by Verizon
In the process of reworking Yahoo, several changes are taking place. Unfortunately, there are a number of people spreading false rumors about this.
One such rumor is that Yahoo Mail is shutting down!
Yahoo mail is NOT closing down. Yahoo messenger is, and Yahoo is clearing out the inactive account. Urban legends like this are a big reason why so many victims have trouble finding the truth. This is a FINAL WARNING.
According to Yahoo:
On July 15th, Yahoo will be closing down inactive accounts (accounts that have not been logged into in the last 12 months) and releasing them to the public to claim.
That means that if you (or more importantly, customers on your email list) have not logged into your Yahoo account in the last year, then that Yahoo ID will become available and could soon be used by a completely different person.
