You can also file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission [URL=https://rn.ftc.gov/pls/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01]here[/URL] or by going here: [url]http://www.ftc.gov/[/url].
The nice thing about the FTC is that it investigates identity theft crimes and phishing is a form of identity theft. And it is a real government institution and it has the power to issue fines and such, which the BBB doesn't. Now the FTC website says that "While the FTC does not resolve individual consumer problems, your complaint helps us investigate fraud, and can lead to law enforcement action." So if the FTC gets enough complaints about Yahoo (especially when you are paying yahoo for a service for which you aren't getting) then they will fine Yahoo (or send someone to jail) and THAT should get some action.
