I keep getting game scores from yahoo alert.?

Question

The previous owner of my cell phone number has signed up from yahoo alert for baseball game scores, so after I own this number, I keep receive scores, it REALLY bothers me. There's no way I can cancel this influx of message.

From Yahoo! Help http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mobile/...

Because many phone companies recycle phone numbers, it is possible for users who purchase a new phone to receive a previous owner's alerts. Since your phone has an email address that anyone can send a message to, Yahoo! can only stop alerts that it manages. Only your carrier can prevent all messages from being delivered to your device. If you would like to cancel all alerts please visit the Cancel All Mobile Alerts page.
