Answer 2

· What happened to you is Yahoo's anti-Spam bot program tagged you. You were not reported for abuse or cheating. Only because of a program glitch. And if it says banned till 2015/2021    its just another glitch!  

· My advice to you.. And I think it's working as I know many have called so far. Yahoo has to take action! You’re among hundreds so far to be unfairly banned. Sadly yahoo is very slow about fixing or responding to this anti-spam bot program glitch. Here is where you can report the problem. But so far they have not done much to help people you could email them but all you get is a bot generated less than help full reply!  This problem has been on going for at least 8 months!

Call them! That will do more in the way of bringing attention to the problem!

The fastest way back in is by making a whole new account. And start over.

Then if ban is lifted you can go back to your old ID

Try the CC numbers! Do not push any auto response buttons, wait and a real person will answer! I hope this helps. Here are 2 of the latest comments to this answer;
