Please stay calm. I'm only an unpaid volunteer.

The asked you to pay 219 what ? Yahoo never asks for money as the service is free.

You never answered my question !

If they asked 219 in the form of money and not bananas, I'm afraid your account has been hacked:

If you think someone has accessed your account without permission?
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account
y_answers_team@yahoo.com

email yahoo abuse at these address's

https://help.yahoo.com/kb/account

email customer care at

Just keep in mind that you have to be polite with your writing.

1. Provide them the details of the entire story.

2.Mention the time and date when you accessed your account for the last time.

3.Give the password that you last used to accessed your account.

4. Most importantly provide the all the information you entered when you register your account or just the information when you last updated your account.

5. Wait for the response, do not write several times for they will consider your messages as abuse and harassment. Be patient for you are not alone in this situation.

Good luck.
