Be VERY polite to the CSR on the phone...they have the power to give you your account back, but they won't unless you can somehow prove that it belonged to you in the first place. The CSR implied that if the hacker had changed my zip code, I would have been SOL. He also said that my account was established before a "secret question" was required. He suggested that I create a secret question so I could easily restore my acct if it was stolen again. I still haven't figured out where to do that - can anyone help on this?

I thought something similar happened to my account! I'm still not sure if I was phished or if I changed my info. after believing that I had been phished.
This has been such a headache and all could have been avoided had Yahoo responded to my inquiry about what I believed to be a "spoof page."
Well, if all else fails, I'm gonna have to call up an old friend/PC mastermind to hack my account. I need my stuff!
