If you have a Yahoo! account, you should check you privacy preferences.
Yahoo! has made some changes to its privacy policy, and as a result, you
might start receiving a lot of spam.

To change your Yahoo! privacy preferences:

Go to Yahoo! and scroll to the bottom of the page. You should find a
link called Privacy Policy. Click on the link.  In the left column, look
for the Marketing Preferences link. Click on it.  Log in to your Yahoo!
account.
Set the preferences to your liking.
