It looks like Yahoo has changed their "Opt-In Marketing Preferences" to assume that everyone wants Spam and phone calls from TELEMARKETERS!
As such, Yahoo has set the "Enroll Me" flag to "YES" on all of your opt-in settings including contacting you via snail mail AND phone (if that information is part of your Yahoo account).
