Makes you wonder why the charges are in triplicate? An authorization takes place once to validate the card certainly, but once the validation is done yahoo should mark the card as good and allow you to party as previous scheduled. This isn't shocking.. Considering almost anything to do with Yahoo! turns into an epic cluster product and service wise. I'm still curious as to how they are actually going to generate money.. Probably a little less curious than they are I'd imagine.. ;) Sent from my Mobile Device. -------- Original message -------- From: Jay Ashworth <jra () baylink com> Date: 09/05/2013 5:27 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Royce Williams <royce () techsolvency com>,"nanog () nanog org list" <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Re: Yahoo is now recycling handles They're just validating a credit card number; that was an authorization which won't be settled, almost certainly.

It appears in the past I've had multiple Yahoo! ID's and I wasI, on the other hand, need someone from Yahoo! to contact me, becauseI decided to test their "email wishlist" feature. Repeated attempts got me nothing but a message saying that my credit card information was incorrect. But when I checked my bill this morning, I have three fifty cent charges against my account (one for each time I revalidated my email address while attempting to use their form). There's no contact page on http://wishlist.yahoo.com, despite the fact that it's an ecommerce page that takes credit cards, and there's no apparent way to contact a human from the main yahoo page. I can always ask my credit card company to refuse the charges, but if Yahoo! is charging credit cards and not providing services, I think someone there needs to know there's a problem. Never mind taking credit card numbers and providing no customer support. And it's not an isolated incident -- the exact same thing happened to me last night as well. Royce
