Have you ever been added to a yahoo group you did not join?

Question

I recently got a spam e-mail and I deleted it. It was asking me to join some yahoo group (because I naturally join groups from strangers and unknown locations??) Anyways, now it says I am a member of this group, which I want nothing to do with. So, I see if I can remove myself from this group and of course there is no where for me to do so, and I will not click on the link to open the page. So, has this ever happened to you and most importantly how do I get this group removed from my yahoo page?

I have been members of groups in the past and I was just able to remove myself from the list, seeing that I can't simply do this lets me know there is something wrong with this whole thing.

Answer 1

because you were added, you'll need to leave via this way:

leaving a group via the unsubscibe e-mail is faulty, if that's the only way you can leave, you will need the help form

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/groups/...

next- go to this link and stop the adds for future

How can I prevent moderators from adding me to their groups or sending me invitations?

thenreport the group for abuse- it's a violation to add people without permission

Tr this. if you are a member, when you go to the page you should be able to.Go to the group's site, click on edit membership along the top. In the next window scroll down and check leave group Click save changes and you should be out. It may take a day to take effect.
