My name and email shows up in a respose that someone posted many years ago. I need my info deleted. HOW?

Question

A friend of mine used my info to post to a shoplifting site. Now when I google my name it shows up under "YAHOO SHOPLIFTING". Not good for my career. I need that person to delete the email where my name and email are referenced. How can I do this????

Answer 1

if this is a Yahoo group, and if that friend of yours is still a member, they can delete that post themselves by clicking on the post as if to read it, top left it will have

Reply | Forward | Delete <-- click delete.

you can e-mail the owner and ask that they delete post number whatever it is, hopefully there'll be an active owner.

yahoo help generally does not go into groups and delete single posts for everyone who accidently has their info on a public group.
