Is Yahoo! Bombarding Everyone w/ Email and Mail?

    Every day (no joke) I get some kind of mail, whether it's email or paper mail, from Yahoo! telling me that they're '...almost ready to upgrade my account'.

    All of my Yahoo! campaigns have been on hold (again) for about six months because the click quality was so poor. I'm just wondering if that's why they're spamming me or if it's happening to everyone. :confused:

    <added>

    HA HA! I just checked my Inbox after submitting this thread and look what was waiting for me-
    "the announcement email"????? ha ha ha!

    OMG YES.

    Even though my account is upgraded I'm still getting "your account is almost ready to upgrade" messages every other day + a bunch of crap in the mail and a few voice mails.

    Soon I expect a rep at the door and a couple faxes:)

    HA HA!

    They don't call me anymore after I yelled at about six of them for ten minutes each a few months ago. The end result? A measly $800 refund!

    They didn't even send me a Christmas gift this year! :mad:

    I get these emails too. Yesterday, I got one saying that my account was ready to be upgraded. Who gives a sh*t??? I had paused my campaigns for the last 6 months.

    That is weird. I have not been upgraded yet, and I don't get any of those e-mails. Maybe my spam filter is getting them all, yet I get all the approval disapproval and running up my credit card e-mails so I am not sure.

    I got a 9x12 in the mail today with a letter, folder and post it notes all talking about my "new account". Got an e-mail inviting me to some free YSM training in Chicago too.

    It's such good news they will continue to tell you it's been upgraded, at least once a day, for the next 3 months:)
