<p>For all of us business owners who regularly use services like <strong>Yahoo Search Marketing</strong> as a way to target their customers you should be aware of a <strong>new email scam </strong>that just came out recently. I have talked to Yahoo in regards to this and this is indeed another phishing scam that is circulating across the globe. Any user of a computer should be aware of exactly what a phishing scam is and signs of one so you know how to avoid getting caught in their bait. This <strong>Yahoo Search Marketing email scam </strong>is catching many users and these scammers are very good at what they do unfortunately.</p>
<p>For anything you sign up to whether it be <strong>Yahoo Search Marketing</strong>, <strong>Google Adwords</strong>, <strong>Hotmail</strong>, <strong>Facebook </strong>etc.. the list goes on they will never ask you to verify or update your personal information or enter in your password through a link. This is a way for them to steal your personal information or identity. Identity theft has become huge over the last few years and phishing scams are a way that hackers do so. This latest <strong>Yahoo Search Marketing</strong> is the latest scam to date and it sure won&#8217;t be the last.</p>
<p>If you think of it, you were already exposed to many phishing scams and didn&#8217;t really notice it. The most common one seen many many times is an email that supposively comes from Paypal. This is one you probably all have seen once, twice or even a dozen times. I am going to show you the email scam forYahoo Search Marketing that is being sent out too many users.</p>
<p>This is the email I&#8217;ve received many times now, please note the urgency in the email. A technique with scammers use to pressure you into doing it increasing their conversions on people they scam. Unfortunately it works as it applies much to the marketing industry by placing deadlines on sales to increase revenue. Please see the below email.</p>
<div><span><em>Dear Member,</em></span></div>

<em>Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and you will not receive a respons.</em></span></div>
<div><span><em> </em></span></div>
<div><span><span>This <strong>Yahoo Search Marketing email</strong> is being sent to people everywhere. Please note I removed the link in email so it will not redirect people to that page. On top of that I don&#8217;t think Yahoo as a big company will spell response wrong in an email. If you are a <strong>Yahoo Seach Marketing Advertiser</strong> and received these email please contact <strong>Yahoo </strong>and let them know. They have a special department that takes care of these issues. After talking to a Yahoo Search Marketing representative they said, &#8221; These sites are dealt with quickly and are normally removed off the internet very fast. At anytime you receive any email that is suspicious please forward them on to our department so we can handle this and prevent people from falling victim to these  <strong>phishing scams</strong>.&#8221; She also provided me with a email address so I can forward  this email to them so they can look into this further.  Online scams and phising emails are everywhere and it&#8217;s up to people to know and recognize the signs of one. Knowledge is your best defence against such online scams.</span></span></div>
<p><span></p>
<div><span>Have you received this <strong>email scam</strong> that&#8217;s supposively from <strong>Yahoo Search Marketing</strong>? If so, do nothing and contact Yahoo to inform them, they will provide you an email so you can send them it. How many other people have received this email? Share your thoughts and opinions.</span></div>
