New Internet Scam Targets Yahoo! Users

WSLS News Staff, news@wsls.com
A new internet scam is making its way through Southwest Virginia.

The Tazewell Co. Sheriff’s Office says the scammers are targeting Yahoo! account holders.

Investigators say the scam works by sending a request to the Yahoo! user to update their Yahoo! account. When the user does this, the scammers then gain access to the Yahoo! account holder’s e-mail contacts.
