Seriously look at the links that they leave behind so that you can watch there show...or participate in an event that will help THEM get what they want... i mean "Oprah" asked a question and didn't even choose a best answer!!! so really if these really are the people behind the accounts do you think they really care about what you think and their just using Y/A as an advertising spot???? and how dose Y/A really know if these are the real people using these accounts????

Answer 1

yahoo pays them to ask questions

Answer 2

We don't really know who is behind any account. I guess that is why you need to be careful with your information. You don't really know if a person is a good person, or someone out to harm you. I doubt Oprah post questions on the internet, she has people stand in line for her at Starbucks to get her coffee, I am sure if she wanted to ask a question, she would use one of her websites. Dr. Phil did a show on how someone set up a fake web site for his show. They claimed to be the official website of the Dr. Phil show and they were charging people to talk to Dr. Phil. So these people sent money to have a 30 minute personal conversation with "Dr. Phil" only the conversation never happened, and the fake people got money from people who thought they were dealing with the Dr. Phil show. I don't think yahoo can really know who is using these accounts.

Answer 3

I call BS!! Like Oprah really has the time/interest to type out questions and read answers on Yahoo!! lol



But I guess ya never know there could be a famous person or two trolling around!! But I say the majority are fake!
