Strange results in Yahoo SERPs for a new site

    I launched a new site about a month ago. Today I queried the domain in Yahoo to see if it was indexed. I searched for "mydomain.com"....in the results, "www.mydomain.com" was #1 (as I'd hope), but there is something odd going on in the other slots. Here's what results 3-6 look like:

    3. www.mydomain.com/?q=Gifts
    4. www.mydomain.com/?q=Vacations
    5. www.mydomain.com/?q=Computers
    6. www.mydomain.com/?q=Malaga

    My site has nothing to do with gifts, vacations, computers, or Malaga (not even close). Are these weird results most likely caused by scraper sites linking to me with odd anchor text?...or do I need to be more concerned?

    FYI, the site is new and doesn't have any substantial inbound links yets.

    Thanks.

    No "off-the-shelf" CMS, just some tools that I built on my own.
