If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
This has happened to me before, and anybody with a dash/hyphen in their Yahoo! usernames probably has, too. Usernames with hyphens in them are not allowed anymore on Yahoo!, but folks who had them from before can still have them (technically, I have one with a hyphen and a space, probably compounding the problem even more). Regardless, you'll often get these lunatics who will try to coerce you into giving them your password....like this IM conversation I just had with a "Yahoo Games Admin" (yeah, right buddy).

I have a buddy who's a Yahoo games admin, and can't find your lllliiiilllliiiilllliiii username/profile in there. Besides that, according to http://profiles.yahoo.com/llllliiiiillllliiiiilllllliiiiii ... you've been a member for a whole two months. You're not going to become a Yahoo! games admin in that amount of time. llllliiiiillllliiiiilllllliiiiii: for a whole two months what llllliiiiillllliiiiilllllliiiiii: sir i am kind of busy jake-ortman: What is your profile on Yahoo? It's obviously not the one you're IMing me from, because if that were the case, you're lying to me.
Still waiting for a reply on that one (not holding my breath).
