Yahoo email account used in credit card fraud?

Someone stole my credit card and made a purchase online, they used my personal information, except they created their own yahoo email account to use in the registration. Who do I report this to at yahoo? Do they care? Can I get the ip address used to register the email account and forward it to my credit card company, since most credit card fraud is never pursued by card companies? I already cancelled the planned vacation for these fraudsters in Ireland, now I'd like to see them caught. The yahoo email address used by them was onola2000@yahoo.com

Phone your credit card people and get a new card. And do it quickly. If you have already done that google yahoo and contact them, they do care about whats happening within


yahoo services..
Reply:Contact your bank, contact yahoo and tell them that the account was made in your name and was used for a fraudulent purpose and then ask them to try and track them down. It should not take long for them to track them down although the person using the internet could have used an IP hider to prevent any websites from gaining their IP addresss. Hope crime does pay

Reply:I would suggest reporting this to your local police as well. You may need a police report . Usually anyhting over $50.00 you're not responsible for. yYu might be surprised at how vigorously card company fraud is looked into. I'm sure Yahoo cares. As to where to go I wish I could be of help. Try contacting your ISP and see if they can give you some info.
