    I have a Yahoo email address for many years. They offered a Free Test Trial for the New "Yahoo Mail Plus". I tried the new "Mail Plus" and I hated it. I lost access to half of my Received Emails and so I transitioned back to my Free Yahoo.com email. I was Blocked access to my account. My attempts to log in said "This Account does not exist". It has been many months since I had access to my emails. Last Month Yahoo Charged my Credit Card for $14.06 for the Account which I cannot use! I Call this FRAUD! Trying to "help from Yahoo concerning this Fraudulent charge is Impossible because "I do not have a Yahoo.com Account"?!
