Does this happen to you on yahoo! mail?

So, I log into yahoo mail, (and I don't know which version I have, I stopped giving a shit after the 9000th update) and in the corner of my computer screen are 6 windows of "people" with usernames like "hotbrunette64882" or "sexybabe99378128847834732987592375932759507429524075027592730THE NUMBERS!!!" on the yahoo "chat" available in the e-mail trying to add me (saying literally, "hi! add me!"). It's annoying and every so often I have to sit down and reject something like 12 requests (obviously spam) so I can log into my account without my page being frozen by 10 different chat windows.

I have a g-mail and hotmail account but I have been using yahoo the longest so most of my legal stuff goes into this e-mail account and I change the password reguarly...

Does this happen to anyone else?

    Yeah I get that, but not to that extent.

    If you've had the address a while, it's more likely to be on spam lists, etc.

    I kinda miss the clean feeling of opening my email and having only important emails in there...it never lasts long enough.

    It doesn't happen to me... I have Gmail.

    I take that it's probably just spam. Report, block or delete them.

    It happened to my mother. Not that many of them, but it still freaked her out.

    I have had that happen a few times. Apparently not as bad as you have it though...

    Bots their is one way of stopping these people and is make a virus and you either send it to them and they open it they got the virus, your chatting to one in a box send the virus in with the message press send when they go to send you a message thats when files get fucked on their computer or laptop.

    this is not good info so im not saying it doesn't work or anything im saying do your own research and learning cause i can't do it for you you wouldn't understand the rest i have to say.

    Oddly enough I got a phone call like this. It was strangest phone call ever. I swear he must have been from china because we do not use that many numbers.

    No I dont get that. Not even at yahoo answers have I seen any useer names like those. Yahoo is just to childish, always deleting my saintly questions at yahooanswers causing me to lose my account twice already. One of them was lost because my former troll enemies would always report me, the other one made me rewalise that everythig could not be shared in a childish site like yahoo or yahooanswers I find it hard to believe that user names like these could exist there.
