What is with Yahoo Chat?

Do you use Yahoo eMail?  I do.  I found this year's changes to be nothing more than an attempt to download as much advertisement content as possible on to my machine while I have the window open!  And now, I am getting Chat requests, which block my ability to read my eMail!  What the heck?

I really do not need Chat, I am full capable of talking with people I know and need to get a hold of on the phone or via eMail.  More intriguing is that it has been all women, whom I have never heard of, never left a message, etc.  (Strangers!  Beware!)

So, whom are they and why do they want me to 'Chat' with them?  Clueless here.

But, since they obviously have my eMail address, maybe they ought to send me one and tell me why we need to 'Chat'.....  Is that too old fashioned of me?

A friend of mine on another site complains of this all the time on the site there; women leaving him comments and offering to chat. Evidently it is a prevalent scam.
Even at my age, I have men contact me requesting to be my "chat buddy" on yahoo and Skype. No thank you! A friend of mine who is more trusting said she found that these guys start with "You want to chat?" and progress to "Do you chat nude?" . Poor thing almost had a stroke and heart attack. lol
Good luck with your predators.
