Yahoo! Mail Plus Scam


First and foremost, I have been a long time Yahoo! fan and advocate.  Now that, that is out of the way; Yahoo Mail Plus is a scam.  I have a been a long-time paying customer of Yahoo Mail. 4 years to be exact.  You pay $20 a year and you get what?  You get no ads in Yahoo Mail.  You get a couple other things too, I think, but as you see I hardly noticed.  Supposedly I get some phone customer support too.  Here in-lies the issue.

I recently decided to exercise my right to give them a call after a terribly frustrating attempt at getting the Yahoo! Autosync software.
Me: If I go to the download page and click on it, it takes me to my calendar.  Hello, support people, can you help me with this simple issue?
Them: No sir, we cannot, this software is not supported by us.  Good bye.
Me: Oh wait, support person, I have had enough, please cancel my service.  Goodbye.

Well thats a few more ads in my face but $20 in my pocket.  I would suggest no one make the same mistake I have by paying for this crap service.  Off to Gmail I go.
