Ben, Like Linda says, just because you visited a malicious site does not mean you lost your ID. Did you do like Linda did and got tricked into signing in with your Yahoo ID and password? If so, then yes, they have your info but maybe they haven't done anything with it yet so try changing your password right away and if you can, then you saved it. If you can't sign in with your current password, then you will have to do like Linda did. Here is all of Yahoo's numbers and info for the USA. Let me know if you are in another country.

I got a message from someone I knew telling me they had a new site for their pictures and to check it out. I clicked on it and I think the log in window for messenger came up, I logged in...and that was all it took, GONE! I did get it back, but had to make phone calls to Yahoo. I had to send them a copy of my driver's license, and describe what I had in my profile. It took a while and a huge hassle, but got it back. BTW, I am the moderator, and I don't know what you meant about contacting you at your email address. I mainly just approve members and messengers. There are so many more people on this group who are much more knowledgable than I am.
