You might be wonder to hear that I still own a Yahoo account. This is my first email account and I didn't abandon it, because it's important me. Though I need to move Yahoo emails to my new gmail account, It was bothersome sending one by one to new account.So, I kept it active.Now, my problem is, I'm getting massive number of email from unknown people saying lottery winnings, fund transferring, bank deposit and so many ridiculous things.Most of them are related to money and fund transferring.I'm really wondering how could this happen without providing my E-mail address to these people? I haven't use this email for ages but kept it activated by login occasionally. Does anybody know why this wired thing is happening?
