WhistleB:ROFL, this is another subtle way of labelling a dog with a bad name....The content and Nigeria name that will be dragged in the mud is what they are paying for. AT&T have had a long time contract managing Yahoo but until recent when they pulled out and Verizon have to buy Yahoo for $4.8billion. Prior to this, Yahoo have been having a serious threat ranging from mail spamming, Password leak, and Security breach that compromised up to 500 million accounts. I hope you still remember the notorious scamming email of "the Nigerian Prince"..  .. They are paying to put the nail on the coffin and finally label Nigeria and Nigerians as Scammers. Congratulations to the Producer.. But...  |
