I'm kinda new too, but the stuff at the bottom I'm pretty sure is just Yahoo's advertising that they stick on the bottoms of all the free Yahoo email account's emails. If you use Yahoo as your email, everything you send out with have some sort of advertisement attached to it.

The text though sounds like a scammer trying to set the hook. Is it someone you've been corresponding with? Have you've got an internet romantic interest that might not be who you think?

Maybe it senses your baiter character is all of those things. Hehe. As OldBagLady stated, those are just general yahoo adverts. Gmail does a similar thing where they use keywords from your conversation to create adverts that may be relevant. Sometimes they seem quite odd. I think all that is asking is that you give your 'opinionated' comments to yahoo. That's all.

If you have any other questions, or need help, just continue posting. Good to have you on board!
