Does Yahoo ever ask for credit card number as identification to access email?

This afternoon I tried unsuccessfully to access my email on an old computer of mine and was asked if I had ever used a credit card to make purchase. This occurred after being informed that my password was invalad and was information requested to access the password. I am fearful that I"ve given information that should not have been given out. Is this a valid question by Yahoo, and if not, how should I handle this situation?

Reply:This is strange, because the same thing just happened to me today. I would say that it's not safe if you did not see the yellow security lock in the bottom right had corner of the screen. I myself did not give any information out. I just closed it out and reopened my mail and it worked fine. Please be carefull, you never know who is out there trying to get information from you. Never give out your credit card number if you are not buy anything. If are buying something off of the internet, make sure the window is secure. Again the yellow lock in the right hand corner of the screen.

Reply:No they should not ask for a credit card number unless you are buying Yahoo personals. I think you have been hacked. Call your bank first, then call Yahoo. Use a virus scanner on your machine.
Reply:You've been scammed. Contact your credit card company immediately. Tell them what happened, and that you need a new number and card ASAP. Follow this up with a letter.





Then contact Yahoo!, and change EVERYTHING with them.


Yahoo! never has asked for a credit card number as a way of identifying one of their users.





Never, ever give out your credit or debit card number to anyone.

Reply:Yahoo is a free service, they would never ask you for a credit card number.





You need to call your CC company and report the number as stolen if you gave it out. And change your Yahoo password immediately.
