And why won't Yahoo support do it for you if you are the legitimate 
account holder?

I keep on getting the zip code security question
wrong.  I've moved around and I don't know what I
could of put down as my zip.  I gave them all the
different zip codes I could of think of but I still
got them all wrong.  They wouldn't help me further.

please get back to me.  I am the legitimate account
holder but I can't verify one of the security
questions.  which is what is my home zip code.  I
can't figure out what zip code i used.  They wouldn't
help me further unless i give them the right answer. 
If I had a better memory I wouldn't be in this mess. 
Anyway, why would anyone go through so much trouble to
get into someone else's account.  I just want to get
back into my account.  Please tell me if you are able
to help me.  I have proof that I am Emily Vo for the
account emilyvo@yahoo.com.  Thank you.

There are only around 50,000 zip codes. If you narrow this list down by 
removing ones from states you never lived in, I bet you can get it right 
in a matter of 1,000 guesses or less!

What proof do you have that would convince me, and not Yahoo?

I can tell you some names on the address list (Amy Ng,
Judy Lee, Elena Zheng,) etc. I can even names some
folders in the account(Contact Info, Order Confirm,
Suff,Junk, WFG, E.Excel,etc. and the alternate email
address to emilyvo@yahoo is emilyvocmc@aol.com.  If
you send me a msg to my aol account I will get back to
you. Then you know that i am indeed Emily Vo. What
other prove do you need to convince you.  I need my
password ASAP, when can you get it to me?

I'm still a little unclear why you think I can, would or should help you 
get your password. You are asking me to break laws in my country, to help 
you, a complete stranger.

i thought you are someone who could help me - i found
your email when i searched for "hacking yahoo email"
under google.  i thought you are able to help when you
replied to my request and asked me those questions.  i
also thought you are charging $25US for it because
send out a few emails.  if you are not able to or
unwilling to help that is fine. i am not forcing you. 
thanks for replying.
