Send an email to Yahoo Account Security Department account [email protected] mentioning the problem.

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 several times for they considere your messages as abuse and harassment. Be patient for you are not alone in this situation.

Good luck.
